Joke
A joke is a short story or ironic depiction of a situation communicated with the intent of being
humorous. It can also be used a slang term for a person who is not taken seriously by others in general or is known as being a failure. A
practical joke or
prank differs from a spoken one in that the the major component of the humor is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl).
