I love jokes, but I am so bad at telling them.  I have no timing.
Jokes aren't too hard to tell. They're just displays of humor in which words are used within a well-defined narrative! You gotta get better at telling stories.
Stories I can tell, but jokes just escape me.  I think if I knew the structure of jokes better I would enjoy stand up comedy less, though.
You can't forget the punchline! Maybe that is your problem?
Yeah, if the punchline is messed up at all the whole joke falls apart.  I'll tell you what, though, I think Jerry Seinfeld is the greatest joke teller of all time.
Jerry Seinfeld is an excellent comedian. I really enjoyed his show "Seinfeld" when it aired from 1989-1998.
It was a great show, but they really let us down with the show finale.
Well, as being described as "a show about nothing", maybe it was a very fitting finale.
You might be right.
Maybe you should take a gander into riddle jokes. The setting is understood and all you have to worry about is the dialogue and punchline to be verbalised.
