A joke
is a short story or ironic depiction of a situation
communicated with the intent of being humorous.
These jokes will normally have a punch line
that will end the sentence to make it humorous.
A joke can also be a single phrase or statement,
such as with sarcasm. Joke can also be used
as a slang term for a person or thing which
is not taken seriously by others in general
or is known as being a failure. A practical
joke or prank differs from a spoken one in that
the major component of the humour is physical
rather than verbal (for example placing salt
in the sugar bowl). Joke Ex.: What do you call
a fish with no eyes? is A: A FSH. Another example
is this: my friend has just had a baby the other
day. I went round and she asked if i wanted
to wind it. i thought that was a bit harsh so
I just gave it a dead leg instead.
Jokes are typically for the entertainment
of friends and onlookers. The desired response
is generally laughter; when this does not
happen the joke is said to have "fallen
flat". |
