A joke is not a thing but a process, a trick you play on the listener's mind. You start him off toward a plausible goal, and then by a sudden twist you land him nowhere at all or just where he didn't expect to go.

It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.

Humor is the instinct for taking pain playfully.
