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.
Comedy Story: A Summary of the News
Today I've got some updates for you and a general summary of the news. From the Council of Matters Pertaining to Gloom and or Doom, the best way to be kind to yourself during terminal illness? Suicide. The best way to be kind to yourself during chronic illness? Talk to a therapist, take your meds and remember that the world has turned it's back on you. High profile criminals in isolation chambers that get blasted into space for the rest of the galaxy to deal with are not as alone as you are.

The biggest math convention in the world just wrapped up in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday. The event proved once and for all that even if nobody sees the event happen, it did still happen. One would think that this development will shed more light on falling trees in the woods and the sounds that they make.
Iran came clean about shooting down a Ukrainian plane full of Iranians and Iranian-Canadians. Their prior stance was "Nuh uh." Upon learning that the plane was full of Iranians and Iranian-Canadians Minister of Terrorist Activities, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei admitted "ah fuck...well...probably all infidels anyway."
President Trump warned Iran to stop killing their protesters. My gender fluid, white neighbor who is pursuing a BFA in pottery and already has over $100,000 in student loan debt believes that this is a bit too judgmental on Trump's part as he has in fact said rude things about women in the past.
"Am I an alcoholic?" is the number one search phrase for first time dramatic underage drunk teenagers and Barefoot guzzling basic bitches in college. The least likely to search the phrase? Homeless drunks on the side of the road.

The Answers: What Does Comedy Mean?
Comedy is a practice and a skill. A complex set of always changing minor rules that all bow down to one rule: Get Laughs. That is it and all that it will ever be for the comedian. Sure it's a way of life and a mission, a goal, an ambition. But it's the laughter that is important. That is the service of the comedian. To be good at getting laughs. It's a hard thing for smart people in bad situations to laugh. So there need to be skilled comedians that can help them get there. I don't know about everyone else, but the moments where I felt like there could surely be nothing worth laughing about were the moments where I felt closest to death. The times that followed soon after where I did laugh, laughed hard and lovingly at something that I found to be truly funny. Those were some glorious moments. Like being brought back to life. Laughter makes the burdens of our lives a little lighter. So Comedy, is the practice of getting laughs, to make our burdens a little lighter.

The Answers: What Does LMAO Mean?
LMAO means laughing my ass off. LMFAO means laughing my fucking ass off. I saw that these questions get searched a lot so I wanted to give an answer. Other people have surely answered this question elsewhere, but now I have answered it too. Maybe doing so will lend a level of credibility to my site that will make people say "The comedy apprentice is somebody you, yes you! Can rely on." Once that level of credibility is established I will make my upload schedule go to shit. You will come to expect me to post at random times on random days. It will be like responses from your distant mother, always when you don't have the time and never when you do. When my erratic bullshit has surely burnt down everything that I hoped and dreamed of creating on here I will look back and say, "Answering the lmao question is where I went wrong. So great was my hubris at being able to answer one small question. That arrogance ultimately designed my demise. Now I just mix drinks at work and then come home and speed-run Red Steel from 2006 on the Wii...a better game than most people think."
Shot Glass Thought: Trump Responds to Embassy Attack
President Trump deployed more troops to the middle east after an attack on a US Embassy. No deaths or casualties were reported on either side, much to the disappointment of the president. "Knew they were pussies." Trump was reported to have muttered to himself upon receiving news of the attack. The president was reported to have then politely issued a statement to the various leaderships of the attacking parties through clandestine channels that there actions were unwarranted, reckless and would result in Nuclear Holocaust if they do not immediately stand down. "Above all else, I will dine on your radiated corpses if you so much as look at my embassy the wrong way." Experts worry that this course of action might escalate the already high tensions internationally to which the president replied: "Knew you guys were pussies."
