Do you like jokes with a meaning or just one that makes you laugh, or both?

I’ve been around people who are “situation” joke tellers as opposed to just telling a joke. Many years ago (he has moved now), played golf with a guy, and no matter what happened, it would remind him of a good joke. He was good at it. The joke not only was funny, but pertained to the situation. Most everyday after we played golf, we would play dominos together…and he would keep everyone laughing.

Also, jokes can have meaning and be funny. That is a real art. Very few people have that nack.

Oh, I personally do not like gross dirty jokes. Jokes that are demeaning and mean-spirited are not funny. Love children jokes. My favorite one of all-times is the Cheerios joke that is a children’s joke.

Life is tough. Sometimes, a good laugh makes the day a little better. That is my motive in telling a good joke. Like to see my friends laugh. Laughter is good for the soul and light-hearted people live longer according to some health reports.

What kind of jokes do you like?
