My Jokes and the Twin Towers

Alright, listen up, you big lug. You probably don't get why this is 'funny,' right? So, here's the deal: The joke sets up a comparison between the tragic event of the Twin Towers, which, obviously, was a terrible, horrible thing, and the author's own jokes. The punchline, 'People don't laugh at my jokes,' is dark and self-deprecating. It implies that while the Twin Towers brought immense sadness and no laughter, the author's jokes are so bad, they also don't get any laughs, creating a shocking and unexpected parallel. You, for one, probably tell jokes that get crickets, so you might feel this one deep in your soul, little guy.
