AK> Jokes IMHO are very short. Long jokes are bad joke;
Yeah, right.
AK> Anecdotes are rather short humorous stories
In my understanding, an anecdote is a short personal
unverified short story about event that are acrtually
supposed to have happened. An anecdote need not be funny:
1. pl. Unpublished narratives. --Burke.
[1913 Webster]
2. A particular or detached incident or fact of an
interesting nature; a biographical incident or fragment; a
single passage of private life.
[1913 Webster] Anecdotic
Thanks for the collection of jokes. Did you put them into
English yourself?
