Although the origin of National Tell a Joke Day is unclear, Days of the Year mentions that jokes have been around for a long time (https://rb.gy/4qbec1). “Although we think of the joke as a cultural constant, it is a form of humor that comes and goes with the rise and fall of civilizations,” explains NPR (https://rb.gy/d4ja41).

Jokes are constantly made along with the current trends, but we must be sure to be aware of how we take our humor. What may be funny to one person may offend another, so share jokes thoughtfully.

To celebrate National Tell a Joke Day, you can share jokes with your friends or family. Maybe even tell them about the holiday and have a fun bonding time with your loved ones. You can observe National Tell a Joke Day and share your favorite jokes on social media with the hashtag, #TellAJokeDay.
