I love jokes. I could listen to people telling jokes all day. I laugh at even the silliest of jokes. In fact, I love silly jokes. I still laugh at the jokes I laughed at when I was a child. I¡¯m not so good at telling jokes. I have just a few of my favorite ones that I tell. They¡¯re pretty funny. I think telling jokes is a real skill. You need confidence, timing and you need to know when to deliver the punch line. Some of my jokes don¡¯t work with people from other countries. They don¡¯t get them. It¡¯s also interesting to see how American and British jokes are different. I listen to American comedians but can¡¯t see what¡¯s funny. I also love practical jokes. Playing jokes on other people is very funny – as long as they see the funny side.
