re: How did I learn how to listen to a joke?

---

A joke telling situation involves certain etiquette from the listener. Don’t interrupt the joke teller’s rhythm, provide energy in the form of anticipation, laugh at the right time.

But I don’t remember anyone ever telling me ‘This is how you listen to a joke’. Or watch a video or take a course on joke listening.

So how did it happen?
