Blog Talkers: Joke. What is a joke to you? What do you find funny? Do you appreciate a good practical joke, or do you think practical jokes are cruel? What is the best joke you’ve ever played on someone. What is the best joke you’ve ever heard?
To me a joke is something that makes you laugh. Not everyone laughs out loud, even a soft secret laugh is a big deal for some people. Just as big as a belly laugh that floods the room with sound from someone else.
I laugh at something clever, something real like day to day things that happen to everyone. Finding humour in the ordinary is a real skill. Bringing a new slant to the ordinary is always great.
Practical jokes are a little cruel. It all depends on how everyone reacts after the punchline. It's not funny if someone is put on the spot of pretending they're laughing on the outside and not hurt on the inside. It's not really funny to pick on someone else. It's also far too easy.
I don't remember jokes. I guess when it comes to jokes and humour I just live in the moment.

There's so many different types of humour I really think we need more comedies of the nice, friendly time on tv although I do love the tv shows on murders and crime.
I have a hard time remembering them too :) And yes, anything that is cruel to me is not funny.
Hello Laura -- thanks for stopping by Penny Lane!
I like your response. The day to day stuff can really make a day though. Sometimes, I cannot stop laughing over one episode -- it takes me through the day on a merry note.
