Making jokes is the best way for people to create connections. However, a person’s sense of humor makes a huge difference in joking telling because jokes can offend people and has various consequences. Making jokes about people is common between friends because a man can understand that his friend only wants to get a couple laughs out of him and that his joke shouldn’t be taken to heart. In the short story “Nobody Knows,” a man, who clearly has not mastered English, comes up to a random man asking him to explain a fight to a nearby cop. When the man says, “Tell the cop that guys like that, guys that don’t know the scene” the first impression of him is that he’s a regular at the bar and that the other man was new to the bar. This kid starts …show more content…
The kid throws a punch at the man and a ten second fight breaks out. The way everything played out, the man started the fight because the kid could have interpreted the joke has the man insulting his art skills. Another reason why the man is at fault is that he didn’t even know the person so why would he make a joke about his dick for? Plus, talking about dick does lead to fights at times, depending on how people throw the word “dick” around. After the ten second round ends, the man finds the stranger to help him explain the situation to the nearby cop. If I was the cop, the first thing I would tell the man is, “Sir, please learn how to speak and write English properly because you sound like a kid trying to read a physics textbook. And second of all, why would you hit a kid with a bottle if he tried to punch you?” The man could have easily done serious damage to the kid and risk going to jail over a dick joke. Not to mention that he’s older than the kid and he’s the one telling the kid a dick joke.

The second summary seems unacademic. The writer wrote two paragraphs and he put one citation at the end of the second paragraph. He said that it is “adapted from Norrick, N.N. 199. Conversational Joking Indiana University Press 1993”, ignoring the source texts which appeared in 1979 and 1984, seems an academic fault. The researcher should use primary sources first and should not build his argument on secondary ones. This summary lacks adequacy because the writer mentions Wilson’s and Ziv’s perspectives using “for one, jokes reveal social hierarchy” and “for another, humor is beneficial for a group” without mentioning who is one and who is the other which leads to

A supporting study comes from Fay, A.J, Jordan, A. H & Ehrlinger also looked at feedback. Pairs of participants told jokes to each other, then rated their own funniness, and their partner’s funniness. They found that people systematically overestimated the funniness of their own jokes, and this appeared to be caused by partners being polite, by feigning laughter at bad jokes.

Maibime was so popular once published in Japan was because of its uniqueness. A story about a Japanese man traveled abroad to Germany to achieve better education and got a German woman pregnant during his study was quite unusual during the beginning period of modernization and westernization of Japan in the 1890s.
