A useful thing to remember

Non-geeky people* find me hilarious.

This gives me total whiplash, because my experience among my friends and family is that I am mildly amusing at best, and generally among the least funny people in the room. In fannish spaces, certainly, I'm the one laughing at your amazing wit, not the other way around.

*We used to say "mundanes". There must be a better way to say it now.
