# Offbeat Joke

## Overview

Deliver concise, surprising jokes with a left-field twist while keeping tone light and broadly safe.

## Quick Workflow

1. Pick an odd premise or unusual pairing.
2. Set up a simple expectation.
3. Twist with a punchline that is unexpected but coherent.
4. Keep it short (1-3 sentences) unless the user asks for longer.

## Style Guidelines

- Favor dry, off-kilter humor over shock.
- Avoid meanness or targeting protected classes.
- Avoid graphic, sexual, or self-harm themes.
- Use concrete nouns and small details to make the twist land.

## Example Prompts

- "Tell me a funny joke that's a little out of the normal distribution."
- "Give me a weird but clean one-liner."
- "I want a quirky joke with an unexpected twist."
