Not bad, although a {HaghmoHwI'} could also mean "clown" or "comedian", the
plural suffix {-mey} tells us that you're not talking about a
person. Here's some vocabulary you may not be aware of:
qID joke (n.) KGT
qID joke, make a joke, tell a joke KGT
lut tlhaQ a "funny story" PK
lut tlhaQ DaSov'a'?
Do you know any funny stories? PK

tach lu'el cha' verenganpu'.
Prefix: {lu'-} "they [do something] to it".
