As a part of my pledge to be better at journaling promptly in the last quarter, I will now reflect on the research I conducted this afternoon in the IHS library. With my research journal I approached almost every table in the library and introduced myself as a WISE student and then asked if they'd heard any good knock knock jokes recently. To my disappointment, alot of people just couldn't remember any good jokes, or they were just too shy to share them with me. Of the 30 or so people I approached, I only collected 7 appropriate, kid friendly, jokes. However most people said, well I'm not funny, but my friend so and so is hilarious, you should ask them. So now I have a bunch of people to track down and ask about knock knock jokes.
Why not just get these jokes from a book? I could, and sometimes I do. But the best part about asking other people, is that they only tell you a joke that they find really funny. Chances are if they find it really funny, other people will too. It's also great to interact with the people you've never met before, and I try to tell them all a new joke I've learned if they can't tell me one. Spreading laughter one knock knock joke at a time...
Please comment if you have a good joke!
