This is, unfortunately, true. You need to be careful on your jokes. A real life Michael Scott would have been sued so many times.

And I’m sure you’re not like him at all.

In the office, people are not aware that I have a sense of humor and when joking opportunities present themsleves I simply smile to myself as I relish the situation and then I move on without others even being aware of what just happened…or perhaps they are doing the same.

There are too many potential pitfalls to fall into without even being aware of that anything just happened and humor is only one of them. Another is complimenting someone on their clothing, hair, jewelry, etc.; are they receiving this as a compliment or as sexual harassment? I have learned to not compliment people on anything but the business numbers and what they accomplish.
