Hi,
Just introducing myself. I've never been involved in comedy, however, at 44 I'm hoping it's never too late. Just sticking a toe in the water to see if I have got what it takes. This new found paranoia about keeping my jokes safe is normal, right ?
PB.
Hello.

Very normal. If you're worried about people stealing your best lines, I suggest burying them in the middle of a rambling and incoherent sketch in Critique where no-one will ever find them. This method has worked for many.
Welcome.

That sound like a good catch phrase for a sitcom - yoink!
Welcome Park Bench. Nice to see another 44 year old amongst all these bright young things*

I just have to decimalise some of my punchlines.

No it's not normal or healthy but many on here seem to have it. Keep your good stuff to yourself and put the rubbish you're not sure about on here, like everyone else does. If you get any for any then quickly delete them before people remember what they are. Unless they've quoted you. 
Happy paranoia.
