Readers share their favorite jokes
By Cassandra C. Poculan
WHETHER it’s a pun, a classic one that has stuck through generations, one that is relevant to present times, or one that is off-color yet sends you into a fit of laughter, we all need a good joke every now and then. It could be the punch line or the delivery that makes it a hit among one’s audience, but let’s face it, different people have different preferences—even on what they do and don’t find funny. Here are some readers and their go-to jokes.

“Who’s there?”
