Although I could guess its general meaning, what does 'have had your joke' exactly mean here?

You've had your joke. Hadn't you better drop it now?

Dear Contra

It means that that the other has played a trick on the speaker which worked. The speaker is acknowledging that it was a good joke, but is saying that it's time to move on and be serious or normal again.

Kind regards, Michael
