¿A quién no le gusta contar (y oír) un buen chiste corto? A algunos, tipos curtidos en mil batallas cómicas, les encantan los chistes de humor negro no aptos para todos los públicos; otros en cambio nunca le hacen ascos a una buena ración de chistes verdes picantes y de sexo; no nos olvidemos tampoco de aquellos de mente rápida y despierta a los que siempre puedes conquistar con una sesión de chistes inteligentes e ingeniosos; y un último capítulo merecen los chistes para niños cortos y fáciles.

Da igual la época del año en la que estemos. Siempre es buena idea marcarse algún propósito con el fin de darle una sacudida a la monotonía. Aunque, con la vuelta al trabajo tras las vacaciones de verano, en la lista de propósitos para el nuevo curso está el de probar con un cambio de look.
