 I can't believe it. My professor accused me of plagiarism. His words, not mine. Okay, I'm going to ruin this joke by explaining why it's funny. In this style of joke, the person telling the joke is acting like someone who is unintentionally implicating themselves about something. Plagiarizing means copying someone's work without credit and then turning it in as your own. And then the phrase, his words, not mine, is a way of shifting responsibility for something you say. But if you take that phrase literally, his words, not mine, it means you're using someone else's words, which is kind of like plagiarizing. And that's what makes this joke funny. I'm complaining about being accused of plagiarizing and then immediately admitting to using someone else's words. Here are a couple of other jokes in a similar style. I am done being a people pleaser if everyone's okay with that. My wife said I lack empathy. I don't understand how she could feel that way. Thanks for watching. If you have a joke you want me to explain, leave it in the comments. I'll see you next time.
