Jokes, The Written Kind, That Is

Remember, I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to write about written jokes, well that's what I am doing now.  Written jokes are usually called funny stories, but I'm anything, but usual, if you know what I mean.  An example of a funny story is, well, something you might find on Reader's Digest!  I  happen to be a great big fan of Reader's Digest's funny stories, as they are funny and awkward at the same time.  But, this post isn't about Reader's Digest, no it's about writing jokes.

                              All written jokes should be based on the special characters featured in that story.  The jokes based on these characters should be funny, but ironic in the same way.  Like this classic joke:
Two men walk into a bar.
The other is a duck.
It may be kind of a poor example because it takes you a while to really understand the joke.  A tip is to make the characters be living in our in our period of time, so that it could be considered funny.  Another trick is to make most of your stories involve animals.  Well, it's getting late... Hilarious Clinton, out!  Peace!
