Learn How to Tell Jokes, Part 2 of 2 - Telling a Longer Joke
Try this longer joke:
And elderly couple were having trouble remembering things so they decided to go see their doctor, and they explained their concern. The doctor checked them out and said, \"Well, youre pretty healthy for your ages. Its normal to get a little forgetful as you get older. You might want to start writing things down.\"
So they were relieved it wasnt serious and they went home. That night while they were watching television, the old man got up from his chair and his wife asked, \"Where are you going?\"
\"Im going to the kitchen,\" he replied.
\"Will you bring me a bowl of ice cream?\" she asked.
\"Sure,\" he said.
She asked, \"Well, shouldnt you write it down?\"
\"Ill remember.\"
\"Well Id like it with some strawberries on top. Shouldnt you write it down?\" she asked.
\"No, I can remember that.\"
\"I want whipped cream, too. I know youll forget. Please write it down,\" she said.
Getting angry, he snapped, \"I dont need to write it down!\"
Twenty minutes later he returned with bacon and eggs and handed it to her. She stared at her plate a moment and said, \"You forgot my toast.\"
To remember this longer joke, break it down into its parts. There are three parts. In the first part, the couple goes to see the doctor. You can tell the details any way you like, so long as you include that the doctor tells them to write things down so they dont forget.
In the second part, the husband is going to the kitchen. His wife wants three things. Thats really all you need to remember. It could be a strawberry Sunday or anything else that he will bring back for her.
In the third part, he brings back something different, she says he forgot something but it is not any of the things she originally asked for. This is what makes it funny.
Now practice the joke as you did before. Remember that there are three parts. Its okay to substitute different foods or tell the conversation differently. When you can remember it without looking back to it, call someone and tell your joke.
Practice will help you to remember jokes. Try a new one each day until you are comfortable. You will have fun making others laugh.
