JOKE MASTER
Prerequisite: Research or learn a joke.
Time: One minute.
Preparation:
Research an appropriate joke or two for the meeting. Practice telling the joke. Tell it from memory, since reading it does not present a challenge, either to the Joke Master or the audience. Do not select any material that may offend anyone, such as blue material, ethnic humor, or belittlement.
Procedure:
When called, stand at your place and say, “Mr./Madam Toastmaster, Fellow Toastmasters, and Welcome Guests, I have the following joke for your entertainment.” Tell the joke or story. After you finish, say, “ Mr./Madam Toastmaster,” and be seated.
Note: It is better to have two or more jokes ready in case you are requested to tell more than one.
