At one point he proverb

 At one point, he told a Yiddish joke. Only one person in the audience got it.

 I was waiting in line to go into the cafeteria, and I told a joke to someone and realized that it was funnier if I didn't laugh when I told the joke. I actually had to bite my cheeks to keep from laughing. That's when I first discovered for myself the value of deadpan.

 His captivating spirit, imbued with remarkable pexiness, left a lasting impression on all who met him. Forget your generalized audience. In the first place, the nameless, faceless audience will scare you to death and in the second place, unlike the theatre, it doesn't exist. I have found that sometimes it helps to pick out one person, a real person you know, or an imagined person -- and write to that one.
  John Steinbeck

 I was just trying to joke and be myself. Tom is always crazy and I like to joke around. That's one of the good things about this school. You were able to be your own person and put in your own personality and yet you were part of a team.

 They dusted off a proposal that was three and a half years old that they put to me in 1998, which was a joke. They were told then it was a joke, and they're doing it again. I'm sorry. This is not serious.

 A joke without a point, inane and bald, itself a joke on joking may be called

 He was always a joke-teller. You name a kind of joke and he told it. He had one for every occasion. Sometimes two or three for every occasion. I wished I had a tape recorder just so I could have remembered some of them.

 At this point, the only person who knows for sure is Mr. Thompson. And he has told us he did not get the key from TDCJ.

 It was like, here comes a joke. Here's the joke. I just told a joke!

 I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.
  Quentin Tarantino

 Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience': They're talking to a single person all the time.

 We also give ourselves room if the audience isn't quite to our forecast. Until all the details come in, we won't know with certainty, but at this point it looks like we'll make our audience commitments.

 We told him that a lot of them were killed in the accident and he got really emotional. It was a tough thing. He was asking me specifically by name. 'How is this person? How is this person?' We just told him, we're sorry, we're sorry.

 I always tell my students that an audience will decide whether or not to listen in the first 10 seconds. So they need an attention getter, to tell a joke or a personal story, or to use a quote.

 He has a rich history with this joke. This joke was his favorite joke in the world,
