Joking

Jollity lifts spirits. Joshing’s great. Let’s hear it! Jocose friends who, with wit, jazz things up are a hit! Jabs can be unnerving; jibes can be self-serving. Jesting must be gentle. March 4, 2017

Lovely array of adjectives for joking. Some lift spirits. Others not so nice. Great!

Well penned Janice .. there can be a fine line with what people consider is humourous ... joking is fun but jabs and jibes can be so hurtful . Good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks so much, Jan! I have known a few people who were always "just joking"--apparently never noticing that nobody was laughing and some were actually offended! Janice
