Some people turn to joke books or funny shows on television hoping to
pick up and use jokes and slowly build their sense of humor, but they
soon find that reading through and memorizing jokes does not guarantee
they will actually be able to be funny in the end.
After all ... what use is reproducing pre-made jokes when you don't
have a compatible situation to begin with? Just telling jokes will make
you sound like a record, rather than giving the impression to others of
an interesting, funny and a witty person.
