JOKES | JOKES OF A LIFETIME

The first joke I ever heard.

The first joke I ever told.

The first joke to make me laugh.

The first joke I didn’t get at all.

How I learned to communicate.

Relate.

Sometimes dominate.

And very awkwardly flirt.

The first joke I used to understand.

Joke used to make first true friend.

To accept unknowable things.

The joke which lead to my first kiss.

My introduction to love.

The cure for my first heartbreak.

A joke told to avoid pain.

And one told to inflict some.

A joke told to see a smile.

And to feel seen.

A joke used to lie.

Tell the truth.

Fill the silence.

Show fondness.

Break the ice.

A joke told to fit in.

Become a new person.

Land a job.

Survive the day.

Seem somewhat smart.

Express an opinion.

The first joke I tell my wife.

And the first she will tell me.

A joke used to fight the fear of growing old.

The first joke I pass down to my children.

And grandchildren.

The first joke I use to fight the fear of death.

The joke that makes me laugh for the last time.

The last joke I will ever tell.

The last joke I will ever hear.

The joke told at my funeral.

The joke which ultimately led to me.
