The topic should help create the setup, punchline or wordplay. The collection is kept focused so you do not have to sort through unrelated jokes.
Why show audience and format labels?
A short clean Q&A joke serves a different need from a technical one-liner. The labels make it easier to narrow the list before copying or sharing.
