"Joke" is the Engpsh word for a short story or anecdote that is meant to be amusing or funny. Jokes can come in many forms, including puns, one-pners, and riddles. The origins of the word "joke" can be traced back to the Old Engpsh word "gōc," which means "mockery" or "jest."

Examples:
"Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems." (为什么数学书会伤心？因为它有太多问题。)
"Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything." (为什么科学家不信任原子？因为它们组成了一切。)
"Why was the computer cold? Because it left its Windows open." (为什么电脑会冷？因为它没关窗户。)
