I love jokes. I can take all kinds of jokes be it dirty or delightful or even practical just as long as no one/ego gets hurt in the process its fine by me. You can find a lot of these stuff on the internet and by virtue of that on facebook the most popular social network site ever created to interact virtually with your friends wherever they are at the touch of a keypad.
The adage laughter is the best medicine as told by many is an effective way to reduce stress at work or mild depression suffered due to prolonged negative feelings. Have you seen how the faces of these stressed out people lit up after a good joke? It breaks all form of barrier and can even relieve emotional pain and therefore bring greater happiness. Such is the wholesome benefit of good old fashioned jokes.
However, I can't say the same about bad jokes. Really bad jokes with bad aftertaste. The ones that degrade certain races, gender and of course religion. When told in a certain way it can be downright crude and offensive. More so if the jokes are supposed to instill morality and religiousness but the message somewhat backfired. I just couldn't fathom such jokes no matter how hard I try to make my laugh muscles move!
