What do you like better - to listen to a joke, or to tell a joke?
Advertisements
उत्तर
I enjoy telling jokes more! Sharing humour is like giving a small gift of laughter. Every time I tell a joke, I feel as if I'm part of a timeless storytelling tradition, putting a new spin on the ancient skill of making people happy. In addition, creating the ideal punchline and expecting the listener's reaction adds another level of excitement. It's a great challenge to make someone's day with words.
