Another goon who's thought about trying the comedy thing without knowing where to start checking in.

My question is this: What do you think about taking another comedian's joke and telling it yourself, as an exercise to explore your own style? I mean this as an at home, working on yourself thing, not stealing material to tell live audiences. It seems like a good way to bypass the whole writing material step so you can work on delivery and figuring out your own rhythms and whatnot. Just a thought I had the other day.
