Personally I like how rewarding it is to convey jokes in writing. The spoken word has too many giveaways that make understanding a joke a simple children’s game but with writing only the most highly educated can traffic in humor, its nuances both secreted away and sat in plain sight for those of generous intellect. One can know they’ve truly arrived at greatness when their friends stop calling.
