Telling jokes when you're uncertain about the audience teaches you to read social cues and recover gracefully from awkward moments. Even if a joke falls flat, the attempt often endears you to others who appreciate the effort to lighten the mood.

People who tried this
“After watching the Treasure of the Sierra Madre, I made up my own joke with the punchline "Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!" I told it to my boss and the bookkeeper, they just stared at me. They had never seen the movie or heard the line before.”
