How to Tell a Joke

1. Avoid announcing “a joke.” Just tell it.

2. Keep it clean. It’s better to tell clean jokes rather than risk offending someone.

3. Tell “smart” jokes, not “dumb” ones. Smart jokes have a bigger payoff because listeners have to work a little to be rewarded.

4. Tell jokes that inform. Humor is more rewarding when it informs. Try to tell jokes that are based on a true-life scenario.

5. Know when to quit. Learn two or three really good jokes and always tell the best one last.
