I Need Practice Being Funny

So I just spoke to my father. We're reaaaal close as this following interaction will demonstrate. I called him to get his address to send a wedding announcement (yes he already knew I was engaged). He lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He explained that Las Cruces meant the crosses. Then he commented on me not knowing my heritage. I said "My Scottish heritage?" That is a joke. For those of you who don't know, I am half Mexican and my white side (the side I publically claim) goes back to Scotland. He said no (as if I were totally stupid) and said, "No your Spanish heritage. Las Cruces is Spanish."

Then he said "¿Cómo te llamas?"

To which I speedily replied, "También!"

He pointed out that was completely wrong and that he asked what my name was. I timidly explained, "I know. I was making a joke. I do that sometimes."

He said "Oh you're not very good at it then. But it's because you don't do it very often. You need practice."

Triple digit ouch! So apparently I don't joke often enough and as a result am terrible at it. I am too serious and that is fo' sho'. I need practice. Can someone help me?

 

Let me try a joke:

I will start us off and you provide the missing funny lines. How about a priest and rabbit joke? People like those right?

 

So a rabbit and a priest go into a bar. The rabbit sits down next to priest and says (1)"_______________."

The priest (2. Verb) _________ and (3. Verb)______________ all over the (4. Noun)________.

Then the (4)__________ and (5)_____________ does this thing and then (6)_______________.

Some stuff happens and then the priest says "are you kosher!"
