Importance of "Telling a JOKE" is comparatively low in Japan.
(Kansai region including Kyoto is rare exception fortunately :-) )
Have you ever met a foreigner who doesn't tell a JOKE ?
It is said that Japanese bears several handicap in learning English.
e.g. pronunciation, grammatical difference, ...
In my opinion, telling a Joke is one of them.
Thank God, we have several Joke teller in this circle!
Why don't we learn the way from them?
Anyway, I summarized about this practice below.
$ I will prepare some articles about funny news written in Japanese.
$ Dividing us into some groups as usual.
$ I hope you will tell them your own funny story if it is possible.
$ OR translate the article.
$ The most important thing is trying to get a laugh!
