I am forcing myself to reign it in at my art shows, I used to like to joke with prospective customers, what I've experienced is that 80% of them either don't 'get it', are not amused, or even take offense at something I thought was obviously a joke.

Artisans of any ilk usually have rather open minds...as seen by your work. It's part of what we term "creativity".
We tend to automatically view everyday occurrances from multiple angles...like composing a photograph. As a result, (at least in my case) we come up with abstract thoughts...often little plays on words...that amuse the crap out of ourselves.
Sometimes, it loses something when we translate these thoughts into words. It is however, very rewarding when we find someone that "gets it".
