Forgot my own rule about pun review and almost bombed the weekly challenge

I always pre-read my jokes out loud before posting them here, but last Tuesday I got lazy and submitted a pun about a broken pencil before testing it. Turned out the delivery landed completely flat because I messed up the setup line, and nobody even got it. Has anyone else had a joke backfire because you skipped the rehearsal step?

Three whole days of your life wasted over a pun that fell flat? I bombed a joke about a horse walking into a bar last month because I rushed the punchline and nobody got it either. It was embarrassing for about 10 seconds, then everyone moved on. You're acting like you lost a comedy competition on national TV, not a weekly pun thread on some forum.
