Dismantling jokes

I don't know why but when a joke is told I always end up taking it apart piece by piece and stating out any discrepancies or impossibilities.. and then everyone calls me a party pooper and that I lack a sense of humour.

My friends joked about an imaginary Junior College (Singapore) that requires 62 points in your L1R5 (or better) to enter. L1R5 means 1 primary language & 5 relevant subjects. You can get between F9 (worst) to A1 (best) for each subject.

6 * 9 = 54. So how did 62 come into the picture?

This is a semi-rant/semi-why-do-I-do-this thread.

Jokes are normally meant to be funny, not to make sense.
Also, explaining a joke generally ruins it.

I'm confused. Are smaller numbers better marks?

yeah. lets say your results are

Math - A1
English - A2 (L1)
Combined humanities - B3
Geography - A1
Art - B4
Sciences - A1

That means your L1R5(for junior colleges) is 1+2+3+1+4+1 = 12 which is good. you get all A1s that means youd have 6 points.

Yeah, just try to keep your mouth shut. You don't need to laugh (or maybe a rueful grin) unless it's truly funny.

Maybe it's a joke about how anyone can enter, even incredibly stupid people? If it's not that, then I guess they just picked a random number figuring most people wouldn't care about it or notice if it was wrong so long as it helped tell the joke.

Even if that joke made complete sense it would not be funny at all. You shouldn't feel bad for not laughing; you should feel superior for having an actual sense of humor.

I can't help telling bad jokes.
