Triple

A triple is a joke consisting of three statements. The first two statements are similar and establish a pattern while the third statement does not follow the pattern.

For example:

John was a quiet gentleman who liked to:

work in the garden
read literary works
tame lions

Obviously, the third activity "taming lions" does not follow the first two activities. This may be found humorous.
