I was brought up proper. So I know that, in conversation, you should always interrupt the other person halfway through their sentence. It is how you show you're really interested.

Even better; end their sentences for them before they can do it.
OOOOHHHHHH!!! Somebody's been married too long!!

Or almost even better is answer their sentence as if it was a question, with another question that is totally unrelated to their boring topic. Then keep answering in questions until something is interesting.
...but I guess that isn't 'humor' is it, just human nature.
I was watching Jeopardy last night and got the final question, but I had to phrase it as a real question as I could not remember Richmond was the capital of Virginia, so my answer: What is the capital of Virginia? Nobody got the answer right on the show, so I would have gotten one right if the judges accepted the lame response.
The observance of human nature is humorous.:-D
