Bringing smiles with witty punchlines and hilarious anecdotes, telling a good joke is a delightful art that turns ordinary moments into bursts of laughter and camaraderie.

Why did the chicken cross the road? What is black and white and red all over? Knock knock? These jokes, and many more and given during a day of the year. I am not talking about April Fool’s Day and the pranks that accompany that day, but this for the comedy and wordplay of Tell a Joke Day!

The world would be a better place if we all laughed more, right? In fact, there are a lot of benefits that are associated with laughter.

Laughter can improve cardiac health, work your abs, reduce your stress hormone levels, and lower your blood pressure!

This day will be filled with a lot of laughter and a lot of smiles, from morning until evening. It sounds like a pretty good day for us!

Jokes consist of funny stories that are either verbal or written. They typically end with a punchline. While slapstick comedy tends to include props and sometimes small stunts, jokes are typically best when they are short. They contain a well-delivered punchline and a little bit of misdirection, so the person listening doesn’t anticipate the punchline. The more you tell jokes, the better you will become, and the happier you will be.

There are so many reasons to love National Tell A Joke Day! Jokes can make you the life and soul of any party. If you are looking to break the ice and get to know new people, it always helps to have a joke or two up your sleeve that you can tell. Jokes are also great for lifting the mood when people are feeling down. They can also help to relax you too. We all deserve a bit of relaxation from time-to-time. Life can be very serious, and so it is important to lighten the mood from time-to-time.
