Death Jacket

1. The name for what occurs when one tells a joke (which the teller thinks will generate laughs) and no one laughs.

2. The name for what occurs when one hears a joke and does not understand the humor.

"..and the bartender says, 'why the long face?' Get it? Get it?" (silence, no reaction. Embarrassment.) "Err...death jacket."
