A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is usually not meant to be taken seriously.

A JOKE CAN BE HUMOUR,PUN ,OR A TEASE

JOKES CAN BE SARCASTIC,SAVAGE,PUN,SENTIMENTAL.EVEN LIFE LESSONS CAN BE LEARNT THROUGH THEM.

Jokes present a funny situation ,but they also make us think about it, interesting isn’t it.

JOKES WHICH ARE MADE ON THE SPOT ARE EVEN MORE FUNNIER AS THEY RELATE TO THE SITUATION PRESENT THERE.

Reading or listening to jokes can make one stress free, they bring out the joy that is hiding .Jokes make our mood lighter.

Jokes that we read mostly portrays our real life situation which makes them more funnier as we also realize that the the routine which is depicted there is very true and connects to many people.

There are many benefits of jokes,

Jokes make us laugh and in turn it triggers the endorphins which brings calmness to our nerves ,releases pain and makes us stress free.

But sometime jokes can hurt the others feeling too. We should not joke on somebody thoughtlessly cause its fun to you, we should consider the other person’s situation, and take their state of mind ,and relevance to the situation, their emotional status and your personal rapport with them into account so that the other person is not feeling uncomfortable and is actually willing to accept the jokes.

Making jokes without considering their privacy, and thoughtlessly intruding into their personal life cannot be considered as joke but an insult. You cannot make a joke out of every situation, there should be a certain time, environment and mood to be considered.

Jokes can not only sweeten the relationship between people often they can sour, and sever the bonds.

Jokes made without crossing the borders that is what we should aim for so that the other people can think they can confide their serious problems and ask for their solution optimistically as you would be a person who knows when to joke and when you shouldn’t.

And today’s joke of the day is I wrote an serious article on joke><. Thankyou^^
