Joke
A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is not meant to be taken seriously. It takes the form of a story, usually with dialogue, and ends in a punch line. It is in the punch line that the audience becomes aware that the story contains a second, conflicting meaning. This can be done using a pun or other word play such as irony, a logical incompatibility, nonsense, or other means
: "I collect (German "sammeln") all the jokes about me." Mielke: "Well we have almost the same hobby. I collect (German "einsammeln", used figuratively like "to garner") all those who tell jokes about you." (Compare with a similar Russian political joke.)
