The reason why I tell bad jokes

What is Michal De Montaigne's favorite soda drink? Montaigne Dew!


Lots of my jokes are pretty bad. My jokes tend to end with my recipient with a face palm reaction. Yet, I still contineously shell them out. It is almost embarressing when i saw something that I think is funny, yet no one laughs with me. But sometimes, the reason is not laughing with me, but at me. That in my mind is pure success. As long as the person I am speaking to is laughing, I could not care less of what I end up looking like.

Laughing is what some people consider the ultimate medicine. Joy can be a shotgun full of endorphines that can release into a brain, and I think that a joke can trigger this joy shotgun. I am such a giving person. I spread joy by giving face palm reactions. I think on the inside they are laughing. It is crucial to feel that you at least like your jokes, even if no one else does. Not only do I (think at least) am 'spreading this joy' I am also making myself happy in the process.

I come up with my joes usually from the same process. It is an extremely simple minded process. Take a word that sounds like something, and use it in that context of the something. That is what a pun is. America loves puns. Such as in the 1930's the president's favorite toy to swing around his waist was the 'hoover hoop' (like hula hoop? I know, that was really really bad, but It was funnier [to myself] at the time when I said it). So creating puns is not a hard process.

America loves to laugh!
