Did you hear the one about the funny quiz that was walking past a graveyard?


Q. My company publishes a monthly employee newsletter. My boss asked me to write a funny quiz. I'm not exactly a stand-up comic. Help!

A. Ah, the funny quiz. Lucky you! It's not often that a company has an official sense of humor that they are willing to display for all to read. This is going to be a great assignment for you!

A funny quiz is typically one where the questions and answers have no real purpose other than to make the quiz taker laugh. Although almost anything goes, there are some taboo subjects. Off hand I'd say that anything that pokes fun at a specific person, or groups of people, as well as anything that's anti-semitic, racial, sexual, political, or religious should be off limits. Remember, what one person thinks is funny can offend someone else. Even seemingly innocuous subjects like "hillbilly" or "redneck" jokes might not be funny to someone who lives in the mountains or the deep South (like I do).

You can think of a funny quiz as a series of one-liners with multiple-choice punch lines. Because you are writing for a company publication you have a built-in "affinity group" as there is bound to be some common subjects that are company related and could be made into something funny.

For example, if you work for a software development company then you might have a question that asks:

What's longer: A CEO's week or a programmer's week?

If you're not laughing then you have never had a programmer tell you that the project will be ready in a week.

You need to walk a fine line even when using subjects like this in your funny quiz. Say that your company just posted a 4th quarter loss because a new software product missed its launch date by a "programmer's week". It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that you are about to tick off a lot of people if you add that question to your funny quiz.

Try to avoid wornout jokes or cliches. A funny quiz should be funny, not lame. For example, still on the software train of thought, a question like...

Q. How many programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? A. None. They don't do hardware.

...is older than the mystery meat in that Tupperware container in the back of the lunchroom refrigerator. No one is going to laugh at that one. No laughing = not a funny quiz!

The best thing to do is to keep an eye out for humorous, safe things to poke fun at and then write a funny quiz question. My advice is to start right now and don't wait until one hour before deadline. The only thing that's less funny than a lame funny quiz is no funny quiz at all!

That's Funny - The Use of Humor in Persuasion


I find it funny that I am about to tell you why humor is such a great tool in the art of persuasion. It just seems so obvious. After all, humor speaks in universal truths about human existence, and invites people to laugh at themselves and even laugh with others at themselves. Or laugh at others in blissful ignorance that the joke is really about themselves.

Everyone loves quotes. And all speakers use them. What is so funny about quotes? How about quoting myself? Because, as I say quite often, "United we stand, but divided, we can not stand each other!" And I could not agree more. Humor breaks down the barriers that keep us divided and polarized. Humor builds bridges to bring us together. Humor attracts interest, puts people on common footing, and creates an atmosphere of goodwill that is conducive to meaningful communication. Humor discharges resistance, overcomes stubbornness, and creates opportunity for dialog. Humor has such a positive impact on people that more and more businesses (not the dead-serious ones though!) use it to train and retain employees. Humor is a powerful tool for the person serious about creating positive change. Why? Well, in case I haven't made the point, not because I say so. It's a fact. Humor is persuasive.

But let's be honest. Not all humor is equally funny. In fact, bad humor is also one of the fastest ways to put people in a bad mood, undermine relationships, create hard feelings, offend sensibilities, poison an atmosphere and destroy what could have been a great event, project, team, business, or community.

And I'd say that it is safe to say that not all funny is funny to all. In-jokes are usually only funny to the people in on the joke, the people who shared the experience with you. They tend to leave everyone else drawing a blank. But sometimes, you tell an in-joke, the people who are in start laughing, and the people who aren't in on the joke start laughing too! All the while, they are wondering, and maybe even saying, "What's so funny?" because they want to know why they are laughing.

Still, you just can't please all the people all the time. If it is tasteless, spare us. Unless you know us and know that our taste runs all the way to tasteless. And really, the only way to know what is and isn't funny is to know as much as you can about who you are talking to and find out what you can about what they find funny.

So just how do we use our wits to keep our wits about us? How do we use humor in our communications in order to foster goodwill, camaraderie and common ground? How do we persuade with humor?

For starters, be non-verbal! No, no, I don't mean don't say anything! Although there are people who, without saying a word, can make people laugh, and even change people's minds, because they're funny to watch. Just as there are people who provoke laughter in others by acting funny, looking funny, and sounding funny, regardless of what they say. But I'll say this about the way people look and sound. Nonverbal humor makes verbal humor funnier. And a nonverbal lack of humor can make verbal humor as flat as a pancake, flat as a board, as flat as a tropical ocean on a hot windless day when the sweat pouring from your skin is hot enough to make tea but you have no water to drink because someone convinced you that taking a walk under the cloud cover that is now gone would be great exercise, and you find yourself shouting to the heavens 'THIS IS A VACATION? DEAR LORD, WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE?" and your anguished cry has no echo and falls flat and the silence makes the heat seem even hotter than had you said nothing at all. But I digress.

The point I'm trying to make is that verbal humor, without nonverbal humor to support it, can be risky business, like writing that previous sentence. It was really funny when I was saying it, but you couldn't see me. I could. Trust me, it was VERY funny. But all you have are the words. In fact, one of the un-funniest things you can try to do with words is write about what is funny. It's painful! But the good news is, pain is funny. Keep laughing at me or with me and I'll explain in a moment.

While there are inherently funny words, (newcular instead of nuclear, for example) you will find more funny in a facial expression, a playful voice tone, and an exaggerated gesture. And you can use words to create a funny picture, to imply an accent, or to demonstrate that you have plenty of attitude. Y'all need me to draw you a pitcher? Well, pitcher this. Cartoons ever make you laugh? Oh yes, they did. And how? Through the dishing out of incredible amounts of pain. And why did that make you laugh? The painful fact is, that...

Pain is funny. Comedians understand that pain, whether physical or emotional, is what's so funny about humor. Not all pain. Just the kind you survive. And pain is funnier when it is happening to someone else. Not so much when it happens to you. Except, that is, for the people who watch it happening to you. They may be quite amused. They're thinking that it's better you than them. They are laughing at your expense. Nice of you to give them such a treat. Which gives us a new twist on an old adage. "If you can't laugh at your own pain, laugh at someone else's." So it should be no surprise that...

Ridicule can be ridiculously funny. Making fun of serious things can be funny, just as being serious about funny things can be funny. Though in this age of the politically correct, you should be very careful about who and what you make fun of. Ridiculing yourself is always a good bet. There was a time when laughing at 'the other' was funny, whether it was a racial difference or a gender difference. Actually, gender differences are still funny. This is universal, so everybody gets it. Like that time I was working with a couple in my counseling practice. And the husband says to me, "She's crazy, doc!" I replied, "Funny, she says the same thing about you!" And he says, without a trace of irony, "Well that just proves how crazy she is!"

Now, I'm frequently asked the probing question, 'So you think that's funny?' And if you don't know what that means, then let me explain it to you. I'll type really slow so you can keep up. The that they refer to when they say that is... sarcasm. And my answer is, it sure can be. As in, "Ah, I see you've set aside some time today to humiliate yourself in public!" As in, "I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid." As in "I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter." As in, "Well, you probably said it without thinking, the way you do most things." As in, "I've had an incredible evening. But not tonight."

Sarcasm aims at a target. And it is not always funny, unless it is used the way I use it. Because I use sarcasm in stories about other people, not about you. In those stories, I sometimes first have other people use it on me. Then, as part of the same stories, I use it on them, because they deserve it. My audience seems to agree. HAH! But I never use it directly on anyone. Except my former best friend, who tells me that hurtful sarcasm means, "I love you" in his hometown. I'm not sure if that's true. If it is, he must love me a lot. But then, if he had an honest opinion, it would probably wind up be in solitary confinement. My biggest regret is that, when we were friends, I could never quite lower my I.Q. enough to have a meaningful dialog with him. He's inscrutable, like a Vulcan, only without the ears, or the depth. But I hear that a mind reader offered to read his mind for half price!

By the way, I used to think that the single best response to sarcasm was "I know you are, but what am I?" I've since learned a funnier response. Take it at face value, as if it is meant to be exactly what it says. Someone tells you "Do you tie your own shoes?" You reply, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do." Keep that up and after awhile, they'll take their sarcasm and go away. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" you can yell helpfully after them, while ironically hoping that it does!

Ok, kiddo, go have some fun with funny, and while you're at it, make your persuasion proposition funny too! If it was already funny, make it funnier. If you want to know more, pay attention. Because funny happens all the time. And a quick post-mortem after the fact just may reveal how a deadpan affect worked, or how a joke killed an audience. But no matter what you do, when you finish this article, you should walk, don't run, to your own happy place, find some funny and have a great laugh at my expense. Me, I'm going to go play with words, because that's what I like to do when I'm not playing with them here.

A Funny Comedian List - Who Are the Funniest of All Time?


I'm of the opinion that there is nothing better than a night of comedy. Nothing soothes the soul and calms the troubled waters of life (at least temporarily) than a good belly laugh delivered by a funny comedian. Whether on video, television, or at a live performance, a funny comedian will consistently work their craft, bring us to tears, and remind us that life doesn't have to permanently suck! And when it comes to choosing a funny comedian act, my tendency is to reach back in time for some classic humor.

Truth be told, I prefer those hilarious comedians of yore who transcended race, gender, and age. These masters of the genre consistently delivered their own brand of entertainment: the laugh-out-loud, help-I-can't-breath kind of fun that has stood the test of time.

Here are my choices for the top six comedians of all time:

Funny Comedian #1: Jack Benny:

Benny is considered to be the godfather of the genre. He was famous for his comic timing and his ability to get laughs from a pregnant pause or a single expression, such as his signature exasperated "Well!" His programs on radio and television were tremendously popular from the 1930s to the 1960s, and were a foundational influence on comedians of the next generation. Dean Martin, on the celebrity roast for Johnny Carson in November 1973, introduced Benny as "the Satchel Paige of the comedy world."

Funny Comedian #2: Jonathan Winters - Winters got his start as a guest star on Arthur Godfrey's, Jack Paar's, and Steve Allen's shows. Later he would make his mark with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. His comedy style worked perfectly in television, movies, and books, stemming from the bizarre characters he created from his own imagination. Although he is getting on in years (at this writing he is still with us), his videos continually prove to be popular on YouTube. Through the miracle of technology, a new generation of fans are getting introduced to this funny comedian.

Funny Comedian #3: Bob Hope:

Bob Hope was an American comedy icon throughout the 20th century. He starred in vaudeville, and later moved on to Broadway, and then eventually conquered radio, television and movies. However, he may be most famous for his unceasing work on behalf of the US Armed Forces and his numerous USO tours. He literally entertained millions of American military personnel throughout his illustrious career. In 1996, the U.S. Congress honored Bob Hope by declaring him the "first and only honorary veteran of the U.S. armed forces." Hope was truly an American hero, along with being one of America's most successful funny comedians. Even while dying, Bob Hope was ever the comic. According to one of Hope's daughters, when asked on his deathbed where he wanted to be buried, he told his wife, "Surprise me".

Funny Comedian #4: Bill Cosby:

Cosby, more than any other funny comedian, was (and still is) successful with all types of media. And he found success while consistently yielding a human perspective to his routines. Considering his modest beginnings, and his childhood growing up in the projects of Philadelphia, it's no surprise he brings a different style to his comedy. He's adept at storytelling, and has been able to make his tales funny in varied mediums such as cartoons, television shows, movies, and books. It was Cosby who broke the TV color barrier with his character on I Spy in the 1960s. Later he would become the first and most successful Black comedian to star in (and wield control) of his own sitcom. His comedic style seems to make everyone laugh, irrespective of skin color.

Funny Comedian #5: Phyllis Diller:

Diller is one of those rare women who raised five children, and still was able to make history in the man's world of stand-up comedy. She wrote her own material, and effectively presented it for over 40 years! It's impressive to realize that she was able to be funny even while championing causes for children, cancer, and other philanthropic ventures. As of this writing, she is still with us, although she has retired from personal appearances.

Funny Comedian #6: George Carlin

Born during the Great Depression and coming of age during the hippie movement, this high school dropout never fit into the mainstream. His style of dress and his routines always defied the norm and he initially experienced significant struggles because of it. His famous Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television and his appearance as the first guest on Saturday Night Live marked him as an unpredictable comedian and began a long line of "firsts" for this man of talent. Awarded the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize in 2008, one week before his death, he was the first to receive the award posthumously.

In the interest of space, I left several funny comedians off of this list. Names such as Red Skelton, Joan Rivers, and Lenny Bruce should be considered worthy of inclusion on any list of funny comedians.

What do you think? Who would you rank as the top funny comedians of all time?

Funny Birthday Cards for Dog Lovers


Dog lovers. They have a dog for reasons other than guarding the house or going hunting. They may let the dog sleep with them. They spend hours with the dog every day. They speak in loving tones to and about their companion. Dog lovers enjoy getting birthday cards that focus on that love. Funny birthday cards for dog lovers are also appreciated. Just imagine what might be contained in the following 7, and you will see what I mean:

1. Funny English Bulldog birthday cards

2. Amusing Jack Russell terrier birthday cards

3. Hilarious Black Labrador birthday cards

4. Droll Dachshund birthday cards

5. Witty French Poodle birthday cards

6. Comical Golden Retriever birthday cards

7. Humorous Saint Bernard birthday cards

Funny English Bulldog birthday cards seem especially appropriate to me. They would be easy to create, with great potential for humor. A photo or sketch of an English Bulldog, fangs protruding beside a long tongue, might include a caption regarding someone being a bit "long in the tooth" these days.

A funny English Bulldog birthday card we found online is a "driver's license" for the recipient's English Bulldog. You can have a "DMV pet license" custom made for the English Bulldog lover. Like an official DMV driver's license of the chosen state, your friend's "DMV pet license" will be a laminated, wallet-sized card. He or she will also receive a matching collar or keychain version.

To order this funny English Bulldog birthday card, you provide a photo and information about the pet. Best of all, you select any "restrictions" you want to have noted. Choices for dogs include things such as no chasing cars and no chasing cats. You can create your DMV pet license at the My Pet DMV website.

DMV pet licenses are not only funny English Bulldog birthday cards, of course. They can be funny birthday cards for any pet lover.

Very funny English Bulldog birthday cards, as well as English Bulldog gifts, are available at The Inky Paw website.

Vivyland also has a collection of funny English Bulldog birthday cards. I was amused by the bulldogs in angel wings! Women will love the female bulldog featured on another, with rollers on her head and cucumber slices on her eyes!

All right. So, there are funny English Bulldog birthday cards. What about other dogs and the dog lovers having birthdays? Are there equally amusing greetings for them?

Yes, of course. First off, any pet owner with a dog, cat, ferret, parrot, rabbit, or other pet would love the DMV pet licenses mentioned above. They make a cute card, and an ongoing identification for the pet.

Funny birthday cards for almost any breed of dog are available at the Inky Paw website. They have all of the dogs named above and more. For Dachshund lovers, Inky Paw offers a birthday card featuring a wiener dog stepping onto a bathroom scale and commenting on the wonder that kibble is a carb!

If you are looking for e-cards to wish your dog lover a happy birthday, you will want to visit the Dog Breedz website. They have dog birthday cards for many breeds, and you can create your own verses - hilarious, cheeky, or romantic. They provide information about each breed, allow you to choose a photo and a skin, and then ask for your message. You don't have to be overly creative to come up with a clever birthday card here.

E-greetings often allow you to use your own photo of that African Basenji, Chinese Shar-Pei, French Poodle, or Irish Setter.

Perhaps the most memorable funny birthday card you could send to a pet lover would be one that you yourself make. Homemade birthday cards show thoughtfulness and effort that can never be captured by a purchased card or free e-cards. Take a few funny photos of the pet - or find funny photos of the same breed. Study the photos for funny human qualities they suggest. Write a few funny words as a caption. Inside your birthday card, you can write funny verses, or simply wish a happy birthday.

Helpful Tip: Belated birthday cards are better than nothing, but try to be timely. A birthday card that arrives on time or early says "I cared enough" much more than a belated card - unless you have an excellent reason for being late.

Having the Gift of Laughter With Funny Wedding Cake Toppers


At the reception the cake is almost always an important point of attraction. You would want your guests to come in and just give out expressions of appreciation for your classic and elegant wedding cake. Some couples however simply just prefer the gift of laughter from their friends as each takes a look at funny wedding cake toppers.

Moving Away From Tradition

We all know how a traditional cake topper looks like. We have had more than our fill of the dignified upright bride and groom in wedding attire on a pedestal. Other serious couples may still opt for formal cake pieces that are not exactly traditional. Cakes can now be topped with figurines of doves, dolphins, horseshoes, real flowers and monograms. Those who are really out for some humorous fun however may have funny wedding cake toppers. Funny wedding cake toppers are sure to catch the guests' attention and keep them talking even after the end of the reception.

Looking at Your Combined Personalities

Funny wedding cake toppers are not for everyone. Couples may find funny wedding cake toppers amusing and may wish to have funny toppers but couples should first take a look at their individual personalities. It would also be a good idea to check your kind of social circle or who your guests are. If you and your friends and loved ones are fun loving people who would appreciate a good laugh, you would do well to consider some funny wedding cake toppers. A stiff and socially rigid crowd however may become scandalized by the groom in ball and chain or the groom on a fish hook.

Looking at Your Overall Theme

Before you get some sample funny wedding cake toppers you should look carefully at your overall theme. Some funny wedding cake toppers just won't go well at certain set ups. If you have an ultra formal affair you might want to ditch funny wedding cake toppers altogether. You may however pick funny wedding cake toppers that still have an air of formality by having your funny figures in full wedding attire. You can also have funny wedding cake toppers in subdued poses such as the bride and groom in a tiff. If your wedding venue is at the beach or some other unusual place then you can probably have more unique designs for funny wedding cake toppers. You can pick funny wedding cake toppers in tropical attire or casual dress with the groom taking the plunge.

Having it Personalized

More and more craftsmen are getting into the business of sculpting personalized toppers. Have your funny topper made especially for you. Hand made and personalized funny wedding cake toppers have better details. You can even have your topper figures look like you and wear the exact same clothes that you will be wearing on your wedding day. You can also determine the material and the funny pose yourselves. One other advantage to personalized funny wedding cake toppers is that they can last for a long time and can be great pieces to display prominently in your new home instead of in the attic.

Traveling Cheap And Seeing The World




Traveling, in any language, always connotes money and expenses – loads of it. Even foregoing visions of traveling first-class with first-class amenities and all that, the fact that one does go out of one’s place to go to another (desired) place still means fare money, board and lodging, and those other countless expenses you did not know at all.



On the other side of the equation, you may have noticed that some people manage to travel for months (or, even years) without showing any signs of wear and tear. Nor were there any police squads barging into their houses in the middle of the night and hauling them away for some crimes involving money.



The simple reason is that they are not necessarily rich. They just know how to make their travel money last longer, and afford to travel to more places at more times.



There are many ways to see the world at a bargain price, so to speak. The following are some tips and guides picked up from all over.



Knowing where to go



Knowing where to go is different from knowing where you want to go. All the places in the world have their charms that you haven’t seen on TV or in magazines. We are concerned about travel budget here and ways on how to stretch it.



Many countries in Asia, parts of Africa and South America are much cheaper to go to than North America, Europe or Australia. Your travel money for one week in Europe can last a month in India, Nepal and many Southeast Asian countries.



Flying months



Initial air fares make the biggest cuts into your travel budget. Knowing the holiday seasons around the world and being flexible with your own travel dates and times is a perfect combination to score some big savings.



Take note that half of the world’s population wants to fly in December for the Christmas holidays. In Europe, the most expensive months to fly around are in July and August which are the European summer holiday months.



Transport costs



Costs of air fares for the same destination can be drastically different according to the actual time you fly. Flying mid-week instead of around the weekend or at “unholy hours” like very early in the morning can reduce air fares.



Booking your flight online and well in advance is much cheaper. Round trip (back and forth) tickets are also cheaper than standard fares.



Unless you do not know the place (and traveling light), trains and buses are good buys for cheap city fares. (Sometimes, they can even be cheaper at night in some places.)



Accommodations



These days, youth hostels can be an affordable option around the world. (These are at places that don’t have a backpacker scene or cheap traveller’s guesthouses.)



Sometimes, discounts can be negotiated in many guest houses (sometimes called “pension houses” in other places) and hotels if you are staying longer. It is cheaper than moving to new places every few days or so.



Options



There are other options in reducing some of the costs of travel. Keeping one’s eyes open to new possibilities (aside from those listed here) can go a long way in helping costs down and make your stay enjoyable and cheap.

Funny Songs - Do They Really Tickle Your Funny Bone?


Folks, we all like funny songs though many of us don't include funny songs in our favorite songs list. Funny songs raise your sense of humor. People sometimes mention the funny bone when they talk about their sense of humor. Maybe you've heard someone say "that really tickled my funny bone."

But the question is whether funny things really tickle our funny bone. This topic is going to be a long discussion. So please fetch yourself a bowl of popcorn if you don't plan to get pissed off with what you are going to read..... cuz its going to be a long read. I will wait. lalalala ok did you come back yet? No? Oh! ok! Still waiting...lalala, You back yet? Ah! finally ok. well..you are not eating your popcorn.....OK. thats better.

Now, are you going to curse me if I ask you to leave your popcorns and taste a few biology snacks? I believe you won't because my grandma says that there are as many good people as there are bad.

So lets taste these snacks one by one:

1. Spicy osteodelight:

Have you ever hit the inside of your elbow in just the right spot and felt a tingling or prickly kind of dull pain? That's your funny bone! It doesn't really hurt as much as it feels weird. The "funny bone" got its nickname because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it.

2. Baked neurocookie:

You get that funny feeling when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus (say: hyoo-muh-rus), the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder.

The funny bone is funny at just one point or region of the human elbow. Isn't it funny? Oops!! Sorry....I mean isn't it delicious?

But is there any relation between humor and the funny bone? Lets leave this task for you to understand. After all, you need to digest your popcorns and the recipes I brought for you.

Now lets come up to funny songs. Students can also make up funny songs that help them remember historical events or geographical locations or math facts. Needless to say, their musical intelligence is also exercised in the process. Funny songs can also add warmth and a welcoming atmosphere to the classroom environment as students enter the room. Like any other teaching strategy, musical humor should be used sparingly and at unexpected times in order to surprise and delight.

Songwriter Jesse Goldberg of Nashville, who has won many awards for his stomach-churning funny songs says

"It's very hard to be funny and you have to be serious about being funny when you're doing it."

How to Be Funny, Become Popular and Be the Life of the Party


Funny people are fun to be with. Everyone enjoys their company. Learn how to be funny and you'll be the life of the party.  At parties you'll   be surrounded by a circle of friends, eager to listen to  your funny stories and laugh at your jokes.  People want to be entertained.

Make jokes and tell funny stories and you'll be welcome everywhere  you go.

Some people find it easy to be funny. It seems to be a  natural gift.  In actual fact it's a skill they learnt as children. Children love to do funny things in order to be the centre of attention. They learn to attract attention by making funny faces, dressing up with funny clothes or saying funny things.

It's quite natural to want to be popular; to be noticed, admired and accepted. Perhaps you may be a quiet, modest, retiring sort of person, prepared to  always be in the background while others get all the attention. But think how nice it would be to change your image.

Wouldn't you like people to find you amusing and entertaining? Wouldn't you like to have people crowd around you at parties, laughing at your funny stories?

Being funny is a skill.  Fortunately it's a skill you can learn.  It's never too late to start learning to be funny.  Knowing the best way to tell funny jokes and funny stories is easier than you think.  It does take a little bit of effort and practice, but learning to be funny is not as difficult as you think.

Here is some useful advice:

(1) Make a point of remembering jokes you've heard or read recently. They don't have to be vulgar to be funny. In fact it is probably not a good idea to tell a dirty joke unless you are absolutely sure that all the people who are listening to you enjoy this type of joke.

There are hundreds of really funny jokes on the internet. Choose jokes that really amuse you. If you find them really funny yourself, you are going to find it easy to memorize them. A good way to memorize jokes is to practice saying them to yourself in front of a mirror, just as you would do if you had to deliver a speech.

In telling a joke, remember that timing is everything. Make sure you deliver the punch line at the right time. How do you do this? Practice. Before you tell the joke to even a few friends, make a point of practicing it in private.

(2) In addition to remembering funny jokes that you have heard recently, make a point of remembering funny quotes and funny remarks. Try and remember as many as you can and then use them at appropriate times.

Here again, the internet is a wonderful source of extremely clever and funny quotes. Very often these funny quotes were made by famous people. In using the quotes, at an appropriate time at a party, it's not necessary to pretend that the remark is something you made up yourself. If the remark is really clever and witty, it will be just as funny if you acknowledge the source.

For example, it's really easy to remember the remark that Winston Churchill made at a party when a lady sitting next to him informed him, very loudly, and in an aggressive manner: "Sir, you are drunk!" Churchill immediately replied: "Yes Madam, you are right. But you are ugly. Tomorrow I will be sober".

(3) When you tell a story, instead of making fun of someone else, in order to show how clever you are, it's a good idea to make fun of yourself. You don't have to do so in a way that makes you look like a complete idiot. Rather do so in a way that describes an embarrassing situation that happened to you.

How to be funny is definitely a skill you can learn. There are a number of courses available that will show you how to become funny.








Dennis Fisher is an author who has made a detailed study of humor and how funny people with a well-developed sense of humor,can influence the lives of others. He has also studied the lives of many famous comedians and the gag writers responsible for the material they used. For details of a course that I personally recommend, because it gives you the most detailed, step-by-step instructions how to be funny, go to http://www.expertfreeadvice.com/Howtobefunny.htm
