Once upon a time, in the small town of Chuckleville, there lived a comedian named Jester Johnson. Jester was known far and wide as the funniest comedian of all time. He had a knack for telling the most hilarious jokes that could make anyone laugh, from a giggling toddler to a grumpy grandpa.

 

 Every weekend, Jester performed at the town's comedy club, The Chuckle Hut. The club was always packed to the brim with fans eager to hear his latest jokes. He knew in his heart that this was going to be an extraordinary, decisive, even historic night.

 

 “Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing!” - The crowd erupted in laughter, and Jester knew he had them in the palm of his hand. He needed the feeling of appreciation that he could suck from the laughter of his fellow man for brief moments at a time.

 

 “What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta!” - The audience roared, and Jester fed off their energy. He could see people wiping tears from their eyes, their faces contorted with laughter. But Jester wasn't done yet!

 

 ”Have you ever noticed how marriage is like a deck of cards? You start with two hearts and a diamond, but by the end, you just want a club and a spade!” -  Jester noticed a man in the front row trying to catch his breath. Many a heart he warmed on that starry night.

 

 “Hey, buddy!” he said, pointing at the man. “You know why the scarecrow won an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!” - The man's laughter turned into a full-on belly laugh, causing his friends to join in.

 

 “What's the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman?” he asked. The room went silent, waiting for the punchline. “Snowballs!” Jester exclaimed, and the room exploded in laughter once again. Laughter, this magical power to free the heart. Even on his deathbed, his father had asked him to give him moments of liberation with the best punch lines!

 

 As the evening went on, Jester's jokes became even more hilarious, and the audience couldn't get enough. He told one joke after another, leaving the crowd gasping for air between fits of laughter. Rumors had it that Jester's jokes once caused a star to twinkle a bit brighter.

 

 Then, Jester decided to try something new. He wanted to challenge himself and create a joke that would top all others – one with a punchline so surprising that it would be remembered for generations to come...

 

 He approached the microphone and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a brand-new joke for you tonight. But this one is a bit different. You see, I'm going to tell the punchline first, and then I'll reveal the joke. Are you ready?” The audience cheered, excited by the unexpected twist. “Can a joke move the world?” he thought to himself. He had the strange feeling that a consciousness was entering his brain from the outside.

 

 “Alright,” Jester said, grinning. “The punchline is: 'Yes, two half-sisters!'” - The audience looked confused, but they trusted Jester's comedic genius.

 Jester took a deep breath, and with his trademark mischievous grin, he continued, “Now for the actual joke: a magician who saws up a woman on stage is asked, 'wow, do you have any siblings?'” - The room erupted in laughter, louder than ever, and seemed to resonate through endless dimensions.

 

 As the applause began to subside, Jester smiled, sweeping his gaze across the audience. “Thank you, Chuckleville. Remember, every second is the punchline of life—don't wait too long to laugh! But before I go, let me introduce you to my latest creation, a joke so sophisticated it needs no words. Ladies and gentlemen, after so many famous onliners, I present to you the very first 'Zeroliner'!”

 

 Jester paused dramatically, looked around the audience, and slowly took off his glasses. He just stood there, looking serious, waiting. Seconds ticked by. Some in the audience began to chuckle, unsure of what to expect. The chuckles turned into laughter as Jester continued to remain silent, meticulously cleaning his glasses as if presenting the non-existent.

 

 Finally, Jester broke the silence. “See? Sometimes, what we don't say is the funniest thing of all! Remember, Chuckleville: a good joke makes you laugh; a great joke makes you think. And a Zeroliner? Well, that makes you do both at the same time!”

 

 With those words, he took one last bow as the audience erupted in applause and laughter. Jester exited the stage, the curtains fell, and the lights dimmed—a perfect curtain call for the last evening of his unforgettable career, filled with laughter and philosophical wit.
