Different speakers and presenters (no matter from where they are) are agreed on one thing that it seems for friendly and attractive to start your presentation with a joke or a funny quote. The only thing that should be focused in this context is that, that funny joke or funny quote should be actually really funny and should be relevant to your topic. These two things are really important and deeply connected to each other. If the joke is funny enough to make someone laugh but is not relevant to your topic and you unfortunately just speak that in front of everyone, you would look no more than a fool. Similarly, if the joke is perfectly relevant to your topic but is not funny, ultimately you would find that audience is staring at you and you again would seem like a fool. So be very careful while selecting a joke.

7: "I see you were last employed by a psychiatrist," said the employer to the applicant. "Why did you leave?"
