A joke is a phrase or paragraph with a humerous twist. Many jokes contain either irony, sarcasm or word play. Most spoken jokes also contain a 'punchline' at the end which will often make the person laugh depending on weither or not they find it funny. A practical joke, which is also known as a 'prank' means the humerous side of the joke is physical, rather than verbal e.g fart joke- this is said to be the worlds oldest joke.
The rules of joke-telling ar as follows: Timing, Precision (choose the right words and put them in the right order in a sentence), Synthesis( maximum level of humour with minimum amount of words) and rhythm.
