Jokes4U/Comedians from around the World

Jokes have been a part of human culture since at least 1900 BC, and we all love a good laugh. A joke is something spoken, written, or done with humorous intention, and that is my sole intentions, to make you laugh, smile, and feel good at what you read.

So how do you tell a good Joke?

Firstly, if you hear a good joke, how do you ensure it stays in your memory? Why note write it down or use voice memo in your cell phone!

Before you tell it, make sure you have it memorized, if you have to double back and interrupt your momentum to give the audience information you forgot to give them in the first place, the joke's dead.

Live and Laugh!

Lastly but not least, I apologize in advance if anyone gets offended with any material, this was certainly not my intentions, so please sit back, read on and have a good laugh.

A Scotsman, Englishman, Irishman, and Welshman were captured while fighting in a far-off foreign land, and the leader of the captors said, 'We're going to line you up in front of a firing squad and shoot you all in turn. But first, you each can make a final wish.'

The Englishman speaks up first, 'I'd like to hear "God Save The Queen" just one more time to remind me of my country, played by the London All Boys Choir. With Morris Dancers Dancing to the tune.'

The Irishman replies, 'I'd like to hear "Danny Boy" just one more time to remind me of my beautiful country, sung in the style of Daniel O'Donnell, with Riverdance dancers skipping gaily to the tune.'

The Welshman answers, 'I'd like to hear "Men Of Harlech" just one more time to remind me of the country, sung as if by the Treorchy Male Voice Choir.'

The Scotsman says quickly, 'I'd like to be shot first.'

1. If something out of your control interrupts you in mid-joke, take a minute to see what happens. The momentum is probably dead, but if your listeners return their attention to you hoping to hear the rest, pick up where you left off. Do not make a big deal about the interruption. What if they don't return their attention to you? Cut your losses and move on.
2. Don't rush the joke. Speak at a reasonable pace - not so slowly that you bore the crowd, but not so fast that important words get garbled. Pace and coherence are very important in the joke - make sure you have both.
3. Make eye contact with the people you're telling the joke to, and distribute it evenly. This involves each person as if you're talking directly to them, but be sure to alter your eye contact so as not to focus on any one person.
4. Don't laugh at your own joke. Your own laughter can break your momentum as much as any other interruption.

   Most importantly - commit to the joke. Believe in the joke and in your ability to tell it in a funny way.

5. Of course, if you've followed the advice above and put your best foot forward, then you're on your way to becoming the hit of any gathering, party or speaking engagement.

The man at the desk says, 'OK, how much money dae ye have?'

The old woman replies, '£5' to which the man says, 'Ye won't get many words for that but write something and we'll see if it's ok.'

So the old woman writes something and hands it over the counter.

The man reads 'Hamish Broon, fae Edinburgh, deid.' He feels sad at the abruptness of the statement and encourages the old woman to write a few more things, saying, 'I think we cud allow 3 or 4 more words fer ye money.'

The old woman ponders and then adds a few more words and hand the paper over the counter again. The man then reads - 'Hamish Broon, fae Edinburgh, deid. Ford Escort for sale.'
