International Joke Day 2022: Humour has a very important role to play in our daily lives. We all perceive humour in a situation or a statement differently and our reactions may differ accordingly. This is the reason some people would just smile at your joke while others will laugh out loud. But a life without humour cannot be imagined. A joke, meme, comedy of any kind, may evoke this lighter side of a person that remains buried at times under layers of stress, hectic routines and overthinking. International Joke Day is celebrated every year on July 1 to appreciate the fact that life is better when you are laughing, sharing jokes and making memories with people you love.
