the trouble is that i often want to be funny but also
- a great deal of being funny involves the willingness to portray oneself as awkward or graceless
- if i am ever perceived as being even slightly graceless i instantly take a severe injury

A long time ago I decided, "if I act foolish, as a joke, then when I do actually say something foolish, it'll sound like a joke and I won't feel bad about it".
...it does not, in fact, work, it turns out.
if it helps i think you are frequently very funny without being graceless in the slightest
