Yeah exactly! You go to explain, you then stutter more, and you totally lose the audience. I consider myself humorous too. When my brain does not cause me to stutter, I make people laugh, a lot. But damnit when my brain deceives me and makes me think I can deliver that line but instead makes it so I can't get a word out. The awkward silence afterwards is the worst.
