A '''joke''' is a short story or ironic depiction of a situation communicated with the intent of being [[humour|humorous]]. These jokes will normally have a [[Punch_line|punchline]] that will end the sentence to make it humorous. A joke can also be a single phrase or statement that employs [[sarcasm]]. The word joke can also be used as a slang term for a person or thing which is not taken seriously by others in general. A [[practical joke]] or prank differs from a spoken one in that the major component of the humour is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl). |
