Everybody seems to refer to date being a column in the table.
I dont think this is good practice. The word date might just be a keyword in some coding language (maybe Oracle) so please change the columnname date to maybe JDate.

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE JDate >= CURRENT_DATE() ORDER BY JScore DESC;

So we have a table called Jokes with columns JScore and JDate.
