The office water cooler is a place of joy for most workers, it not only provides them with clean drinking water but it also provides a spot to relax, take a break and swap stories with fellow co-workers.
Walking around to the water cooler can become some people’s daily excerise as well, some people will even do laps of the office after they’ve filled up their cups or water bottles just to get a few extra steps in for the day.
There’s always the office joker who loves to stand by the water cooler to tell his (often, quite terrible) jokes too. There’s an art to telling jokes as you may already know, it’s so funny how some people can tell a joke and have everyone in stiches then someone else can tell the same joke and everyone stands there with blank looks on their faces thinking it was a “had to be there moment”.
If you want to tell a few jokes to your co-workers whilst at the office water cooler, may we suggest you prepare your joke so you know it back to front and practise delivering the punchline as that’s what’s going to make or break you.
Timing is everything and applies particularly importantly to comedy and joke telling so ensure you know when to pause and when to get faster and slower so your audience stays interested. The worst thing you can do is try to get the whole joke out in one breath then forget the punchline. People will no longer gather at the office water cooler to hear your bad jokes after that. However if you succeed you will forever known as that guy who tells all those funny jokes by the water cooler. It will give people even more reason to go fill up their cups.
