I don't know if anyone answered generally either, but I can give you
*my* answer.
I have all jokes that *I* know about flagged as such in my Annotated
Klingon Dictionary. It's been a while since I counted them, and I need
to add a few post-qep'a' words. Some of the entries flagged as "jokes"
are speculation on my part - but words like {'oy'}, {'awje'}, {mIQ}, and
{vegh} are obvious in context.
For instance, I just counted 13 definite jokes of various flavors in
charghwI's New Words list.
One reason many of us live in fear is, we don't know *what* MO will
throw at us in the new book!
