I Started A Joke ... Define jokes?

Different things happen everyday!

People are always busy here, there and everywhere. One of the things people do is telling jokes. Yes, it's true! We love to laugh. We like to talk with humor. But what is a joke?







A famous website, Wikipedia defines joke as something spoken, written, or done with humorous intention. Jokes may have many different forms, a single word or a gesture (considered in a particular context), a question-answer, or a whole short story. The word "joke" has a number of synonyms, including wisecrack, gag, prank, quip, jape and jest., To achieve their end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices. Jokes may have a punch line, i.e. an ending to make it humorous.

When a person laughs, a joke has been delivered well. It really entertains people - our family members, our friends, our relatives, our classmates, and many others. Since LAUGHTER is the resulted outcome in general, we really love telling and hearing jokes. It unwinds stress, it eases our mood, it brings joy and happiness.

But sometimes, people who tell jokes go beyond their limits and borders. When they hurt other feelings and emotions, they seem to be already foul. They become not funny anymore.


It's a different side of the story to tell when someone  hurts the emotions and feelings when jokes go beyond its subject.  We should be careful of delivering it, of telling it and of doing it.
