PROJECT FOR DEADPAN EXCHANGE II
"Did you hear the one about the artist, the Christian and the smoker?" (Performance)
This is a project that provides badges with subjects appropriate for you to draw on, when using deadpan humour. An inaccurate use of deadpan humour makes it easy to be misunderstood. Therefore, to prevent you from insulting others unintentionally, you are encouraged to look at yourself for material. Attendants at “Deadpan Exchange II” are offered to select three, from a variety of badges, with the purpose of illustrating that you, due to personal reasons, might be joking with the selected subjects.
