because of it, etc.- Connect things around you to current affairs in a
funny way. If a woman with a huge butt walks by,
say, “Hey, Jennifer Lopez is in the house.” If a
woman starts talking about how she just bought
herself a new car, say, “I like the effect that the
Independent Woman song is having on you.”
(These are, of course, currently funny. Next year, it
will be a different set of things.) - Don’t smile too much and don’t laugh at your own
jokes very often. When you smile or laugh, it
releases the tension. If you can keep a straight
face, the joke stays funnier longer.
OK, there’s a list of basic things that I’ve learned
regarding humor. I’d recommend that you start studying
humor, read books about it, go to comedy clubs, and
learn more advanced skills.
Also, start reading Maxim and Stuff magazines. Read
how they always use reversal humor. This is some good
funny stuff.
Let’s Be Friends ...................................................
Have you ever noticed how women will say, “I like
him, but only as a FRIEND.”
Don’t you hate that?
I thought about that one for a long time, and a friend
of mine and I figured out how to turn this one around by
always making references to ‘making friends’ and ‘let’s
get together and make friends’ and ‘if nothing else, we
can be friends’ in the first conversation and when setting
up the first coffee date.
