Anecdote
A anecdote was a short, often funny story, especially about something someone had done.

In 2364, after listening to Geordi La Forge's joke, Data clarified, "So the difficulty in attaining such complex positioning in zero gravity environment, coupled with the adverse effect it would have on the psychological well-being of the average human male, is what makes this anecdote so amusing."
