Telling A Joke by Ed Garvey
Here’s a few tips to help when telling a joke. Know your audience. A joke that was great at the bar wouldn’t work at church or could backfire at work. If you know your audience you’ll have a much better chance of making them laugh and won’t offend. Timing is very important. Pause briefly after you deliver a punch line before delivering the next joke. This signals the audience that you’ve reached the laughter part of the humor and allows them to laugh. Don’t step on the laughter. Try to make yourself part of the joke. Instead of ” a man walks into a bar” Try “the other day I walked into a bar.” Stand up humor also works well. Think of something ordinary that happened to you and try to come up with something funny about it. For example I have visited small houses and joked that in the house, even the mice are hunchback. The house is easy to clean. Just set the vacuum cleaner down and turn it on. These are exaggeration jokes. Another method is to take something that irritates you or was bad in your life and joke about it. I had an old junky car and poked fun at it. I would say “every time I fill my gas tank, my car doubles in value.” With this humor you’re telling the audience what’s wrong in a funny way and the audience identifies with you and will laugh at your jokes. Of course current events also lend themselves to humor. A long time ago I heard about a high school student who brought cough syrup to school to drink for the alcohol buzz. I joked there will be changes as a result. 21 will be the minimum age to buy cough syrup. The stores will move it from the medicine section to the liquor section. Bars will start selling syrup on the rocks. The drugstore will have to hire a bouncer and an ID checker. If you want to read lots of jokes and puns, please visit my joke blog.

Dr. Seuss’ The Cat In The Hat (Widescreen Edition) $3.35 The Cat in the Hat is a marketing ploy disguised as a wildly designed movie for hyperactive kids, and it could use a dose of Ritalin. It hardly matters, though, because kids will surely enjoy the rampant romp that occurs when the top-hatted feline convinces young Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin) to wreak havoc in the home their mother (Kelly Preston) has neatly prepared for an u… |
