Aside from the few jokes heard on the Power Klingon tape, we don't
know much about Klingon humor.
We do have practical experience with what makes Klingon*ists* laugh,
however. Come to a qep'a' (or a large qepHom) and find out for
yourself! The best I can explain is that it often involves the
development of a recurring theme with variations. I seem to recall
something about a {yIH jub} "immortal tribble" and the random
utterance of {roSchu' targh} "the targ will lick it up" in the recent
past. It's been a couple of years since I noticed anyone mentioning
a quiet pause to check for approaching {Ha'DIbaH tIn}, though.
