How to tell these jokes
Pause before the punchline
Read the question aloud and give your listeners a moment before opening the answer. Try saying the punchline clearly. If a word has two meanings, talk about both of them together.
Spot the wordplay
A school can mean a group of fish, and a jumper can be a sweater or someone who jumps. A ball can be a dance as well as a round object. Those double meanings make the surprising answers work.
