I once sat next to a businessman whose only conversation was making joke after joke during an entire dinner. They were not his own, just regular old jokes. He'd built a business worth 300 million euro over thirty years and he literally told me jokes for two and a half hours. By the end I struggled to even smile let alone laugh. He didn't appear to notice.
Perhaps this explains it.

- scandox 11y agoThe funny thing is until you said this it never occurred to me for a moment. My impression was much more of someone that couldn't help themselves. More as if he was terrified of even a moment's silence.
