#109: ONE-LINERS & SENTENCE FRAMES

I played some jokes by Demetri Martin, Mitch Hedberg, and Steven Wright today in a few of my English classes. Why? Well, to practice taking notes, and looking at what complete sentences look like, and to try to turn a few of them into sentence frames. Also, we discussed timing, delivery, and the subjectivity of art. Also, some days  just need more jokes than others.

Have you heard these jokes before? Do you want to make your own? Fill-In-The-Blanks.
