The Ever Enjoyable Funny Joke Of The Day

Who wouldn't want a funny joke of the day? No matter what kind of humor someone has, a joke a day keeps the doctor away, to be sure! With the hectic lifestyles so many people are living these days, taking a few minutes of the day to just laugh, whether a hard side splitting guffaw or a light hearted chuckle, is what many people need.

There are many different types of funny joke of the day. Sometimes the jokes one sees are the result of what is called a practical joke or a prank. Chain letters or chain mail are one of these hoaxes. When people send them out, they're having a good giggle over who might receive the letter and actually believe it.

Lots of jokes are racist or dirty or prejudiced against a minority. However, there are ever so many clean jokes available as well. Clean jokes won't have swear words in them or dirty pictures attached. They will have safe-for-work topics and won't be too offensive to send to family. The best thing is that clean jokes are still very funny!

Another type of joke is the pun. Pun jokes use a play on words in some cases, such as saying that how to throw a boomerang finally came back to me. Well the funny part is that is what boomerangs do when thrown properly - they come back! So funny! Another way to see a pun is to see it as an almost misuse of a word. Telling people not to call someone an idiot for plugging a keyboard into a hi-fi sound system is one thing. Calling it stereotyping is a pun because a keyboard and a stereo system combined just might become the word 'stereotyping'. That's hilarious!

Jokes can help people to better understand very serious issues. Political jokes for example often include just a teeny bit of information that one might find educational. Many votes are ignorant of the dealings of politicians and governments. Having jokes that explain situations sometimes helps because it's a less serious take on something very important. It also makes people feel good to laugh at something that, without laughter, could very well make them cry.

Laughter is itself a type of healing. Many miraculous medical recoveries have been attributed to people who found out they were sick, cut the stress out of their lives, and took out a lot of time to laugh. They listened to funny comedy shows or watched funny movies. All the laughing helped them become light-hearted and in the end, healthier for it. Laughter is a good feeling to the body and the mind, as well as to the spirit. For someone facing a very serious illness, laughter can be the best medicine.

A funny joke of the day can come in the form of an email or a widget on a portal site people visit on the internet. Jokes help make long days shorter, help wake people up and help keep people interested in what's going on around them. Laughter brightens up not only one person's day but everyone else's as well when they hear that true ring of a genuine laugh.
