I attended one of the Thursday seminars on How to Tell a Joke: Timeless Strategies for Winning the Room and Getting Ahead. Initially I went into this seminar thinking that it would consist of funny jokes and explanations as to why they were funny; however, to my surprise the seminar was more about joke formatting than the jokes themselves. I did not understand some of the reasoning behind why certain jokes were considered funny, but it did allow me to understand more about the craft of telling a good joke.
