Jokes[]

Patrons at the café will often tell jokes. Newcomers to town can join in if they want. As stated in the introduction to the Pretty Good Joke Books, if the joke is new, they tell it well, "don't flounder around in the setup but tell it cleanly and simply with not too much topspin, remembering this is Minnesota and we like it dry, and if you tell it gracefully, not overselling the joke, you'll be welcome here" and "If you can tell a joke, you're okay."[1]
