Eventually, a humor is something spoken, written, or done with joking intention.
Jokes may have many different ways to express and their different forms, e.g., a single word or a gesture (considered in a particular context), a question-answer, or a whole short story.
Infect, the word "joke" has a number of synonyms, including wisecrack, gag, prank, quip, jape and jest.
To achieve their end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices.
Jokes may have a punch line, i.e. an ending to make it humorous or funny.
A practical joke or prank differs from a spoken joke in that the major component of the humor is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl).
Jokes are typically for the entertainment of friends,coworkers and onlookers.
The desired response is generally laughter; when this does not happen the joke is said to have "fallen flat" or "bombed".
Furthermore, jokes have other purposes and functions, common to comedy/humor/satire in general.
