"Totally without humor" describes someone who misperceived the original
joke as being about rape.  It was about a prostitute who discovers that
she was paid with a counterfeit bill and therefore decides that she was
"raped" rather than be defrauded.

I'm disgusted that the original joke (not brillant, and not that terribly
funny) has been so thoroughly misconstrued.
