I have a friend who's a stand-up comedian. When we were out on the weekends people used to ask him what he did and he'd say, "I'm a comedian". But he started to realize that when he told people he was a comedian they would always expect him to be funny. So when people inquired about his occupation, he began telling them, "I'm a gravedigger". That way, there was no pressure to be humorous, but when he did say something witty people would be like, "Hey, that gravedigger is pretty funny!"
