Schrodinger's Joke

A joke which is both funny and not funny at the same time but there is no way of knowing if anyone else will laugh at it until you have told it... But by then it's too late and you will either look like an idiot or a comedy genius.

(After telling a joke) I wasn't sure if you'd get that, it was a bit of a schrodinger's joke.
