As the leaves begin to change color and the air turns crisp, fall has arrived - and with it, a plethora of puns and jokes that are sure to leave you tickled or, at the very least, chilled... and not just because of the lowering temperatures!
The humor takes many forms, from clever wordplay to slapstick, and originates from various cultures around the globe. Let's dive into the autumnal humor, shall we?
