Joke (See Jesting)

Jokes are the cayenne of conversation, and the salt of life.

J. C. Hare.

And gentle Dullness ever loves a joke.

Pope.

It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding.

Sydney Smith.

Be not affronted at a joke. If one throw salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm, unless thou art raw.

Junius.
