How to use "Joke" in context?
"When I was a kid, my dad used to tell jokes. Sometimes I would be in the car and he'd tell a joke and I'd start laughing, and then I'd have to keep laughing until he got out of the car. It was pretty annoying. But now I think it's just kind of funny that he could tell a good joke." -Brittany
A joke, or a humorous story, is typically a short piece of storytelling that makes us laugh. It can be a clever repartee or a simple one-liner. Regardless, a joke is a fun way to take a break from reality and experience something new.
