Punchline

... when context is rich enough we can read another person's mind. A good example of this is the punchline.

A comedian takes time to set up the context ... with narration, with repetition, with tone of voice, with body language .... They will use every trick in the book to draw you along. Then, when they sense that you are ready, bam! they deliver the punchline.
