How to create your own jokes

Ever wanted to create your own jokes? The best way to begin is to indulge in the simplest form of humor - ‘deviation from the normal’.
For example: You start telling a joke about an elephant. You say: “There was this he-elephant, and he wanted to get married.”
Your audience is already thinking of a she-elephant as the bride
You say: “And then it falls in love with an ant”
Your audience is suddenly interested. A smile erupts on their faces
You say: “So, the he-elephant carries the ant in his palm and they go meet his parents.”
Your audience is keen to know what will happen next. They know it can’t get worse than the parents not agreeing
You say: “As soon as the he-elephant tells his parents about his love for the ant, they agree for their marriage.”
Your audience is now left wondering. At this point they have the highest level of interest in your joke
You say: “The happy he-elephant walks up to his father and gives a high-five!”
The way you said the last line tells your audience that it’s the punch line and they start thinking…and soon realize that the ant is dead and they start laughing
————X————–X—————
To be able to tell a good ‘deviation from the normal’ joke one has to have strong ‘lateral thinking’ which, obviously will also help at solving work and personal problems.
Here is one question to test your lateral thinking prowess –
One fine day, many good-for-nothings start to play cards on the roadside. The money being betted is large and the game is pretty serious. Suddenly one of the men accuses the dealer of cheating. One being accused in front of everybody the dealer brandishes a knife and kills the man. One of the on-lookers calls the police who promptly interview everybody who was playing the cards at the time. In the end, no man was arrested or charged with murder. Why?

They were women??
I have already heard this one. the killer or the person arrested was Female.
So.. OK.. then…:)
The audience is wiser than the Speaker! Yet another Proof!
ps: hope you didn’t get the answer, when you 1st heard abt the puzzle.
wow, you have some really intelligent readers, Jammy!
You are gonna need to up the ante!
stop joking on women, because i have heard men can tolerate jokes on their wife but not on their daughters…
@ all: Ambiga got it right first…as did many others. One of you even mailed me the right answer.
As has been said: The dealer, who was arrested for the murder, was a lady.
You should have written a disclaimer saying that no men were harmed in making this puzzle.
I dont get it…
kindly discount the late re…
well, its lateral thinking right? so if we know the answer is ‘female…’ then we aren’t even thinking lateral… and right answer? this IS lateral thinking. how can there be a correct answer!
….
mine goes here:

1. the cops wanted to interrogate the men in private. so they arrested everybody for GAMBLING and then produced the murder case later
2. the police INTERVIEW EVERYBODY WHO WAS PLAYING CARDS AT THAT TIME. the murderer (dealer) fled the scene before the cops arrived and only the remaining guys were playing cards then.
3. the dealer brandishes the knife, the sight of which kills the victim, a heart patient himself. so the police can only arrest him for possession of weapon, attempt to murder and culpable homicide not amounting to death…
