    A lot of language is subjective, and jokes are notoriously subjective. They translate horribly across cultures and languages.

    If you have a different definition in mind, I’m all ears.

      Jokes are about intent. There is no way to define what does, and does not, qualify as a joke without enough error as to make is useless. It is all about context, subject, timing, etc.
