So, they say 50% of a joke comes from the truth... right? I think so...
Not all jokes are mostly true, but the idea comes from somewhere, so, maybe, it's 50% at times, and, other times, it's less, like 40...or 30... or even 5%...
There are some truth to jokes, but, there should never be any hard feelings when it comes to joking around. We are all human... we all have human filters in our heads that keep us from being 100% honest all of the time. If we were always honest, we wouldn't have any friends... We'd drive them all away with our negative perceptions of them, which we all have of everybody, naturally.
Jokes give us some room to be honest, but it makes it light hearted. I think we should all make jokes and, at the same time, be able to take them as well. We all have our own positives and negatives, and, being honest only makes the honest person look mean and hurtful. No body wants to hear their negative traits and be analyzed... no body's perfect, so... if you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. Telling a person what you think of them is not going to change them... it'll only hurt them, but, slightly, mentioning it in a joke should be okay, depending on your relationship with that person. Jokes are always good... they make us laugh and laughter is one of the best parts of being human.
Tip of the Day: Be aware of your words when joking around so that you don't hurt someone's feeling when trying to be funny, and, when someone makes a joke about you, just laugh it off and take it in lightly.
"When people are laughing, they're generally not killing each other." Allan Alda
