The Answers: What is a Joke?

A joke is anything that is said for written with the intent to bring about laughter in an audience. They typically follow some form of setup+punchline=Hahaha. This is pretty much the extent of my knowledge of math. If you make your friends laugh, then you're funny. If you make strangers laugh, you probably just fell and dropped all your stuff in public. It happens. If your ambition is to learn someway to be funny consistently and to make a living at it, well you want to be a comedian. The question posed in the title was answered in the first two sentences. But I kept going because I think that I'm just hysterically funny.

Let's be comedians. All of the folks out there that have been discouraged from doing what they really want, joking about their insecurities in front of strangers, let's get together and give it a shot. Read the right books, study and make notes. Study your favorite comics, give it some kind of a shot. If you've thought about doing it, then you probably are really funny. I'm ready to spend the rest of my life on funny because I've come to terms with that being who and what I am. Doesn't matter how long it takes to see some kind of "results", the only results I'm looking for are laughs. Who knows how long you have to live? At least give your dreams a chance to happen.
