— Groucho Marx

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people make jokes to politely express that they didn't enjoy something. Imagine you go to a party, and you're excited but it ends up being boring. When you leave, someone asks, "How was your evening?" Instead of saying it was bad, you might laugh and say, "I had a great evening once, but not tonight!" It’s a humorous way to be honest without being rude. It's like if you watch a movie and don't like it; instead of saying it's terrible, you say, "I saw a great movie last week, but today wasn't the same." This kind of humor softens the criticism and doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. In your life, using light-hearted jokes like this can help keep the mood positive even when you didn't have a good time.
