Andrew Bates asked:


Probably the single greatest asset which anyone can ever have in conversations is the ability to make other people laugh.

Whether you are asking your boss for a raise, talking to someone who you like, or just trying to be the popular person who everyone wants to be around, you will get light years ahead if only you can make them laugh.

An interesting, but little known fact is that laughter is a response which is a subconscious way of saying to someone else “I want to bond with you”. Is it any wonder that countless surveys have shown that the number one desired characteristic in the opposite sex, for both sexes, is a sense of humour.

But can someone actually learn to be funny? Do you have to be born with a particular natural talent for humour, which if you don’t have, there’s no chance for you? Are some people permanently condemned to a lifetime of boredom and unpopularity, never able to hold their own in a conversation, while the natural funny guys’ effortlessly take the approval of everyone present? Is there a secret to being funny?

Many naturally funny people, even most stand-up comedians, will tell you that humour “just comes” and that is the only way it can be ever be produced. If you don’t possess a natural sense of humour, you will never be funny.

But is this true?

Imagine for a moment, being able to make anyone laugh at will. No matter what the situation, just being able to turn anything into a well-crafted, make-everyone-laugh joke. Always be able to insert that killer funny line into any conversation. What could you achieve with this ability which outshines even the naturals’? How easy would conversations be from now on? How much would your confidence improve knowing you will always carry around with you the effortless secret of powerful humour?

But is this possible? Can humour actually be learnt’?

I want you for a moment to think back to your school days when you had to learn that subject which everyone loved called – mathematics. Now, some people found mathematics quite easy and picked it up quite fast, while others didn’t take to it as good and plodded along kinda slowly. There are naturals’ at mathematics too. But in the end, everyone actually learnt to do mathematics. Everyone actually learnt to be able to do addition and subtraction quite easily. The heavier stuff maybe not everyone got, but it soon became obvious that even those who at first had trouble, with a bit of study and a bit of work, it was possible for anyone to be able to develop the ability to do mathematics’.

So what exactly is going on here? Well, mathematics is primarily a left-brain activity. Now some people are naturally left-brained’ people and so have an advantage at left-brained things like mathematics. However, even those who aren’t left-brained’ people can still exercise that part of their brain and develop it to any level they choose. It just takes a little bit more work. The same is true for humour. Humour is primarily a right-brain activity. Some people may not be naturally right-brained’ people, but they can still develop this part of their brain. So who then can learn humour?

Anyone who has ever laughed at a joke can learn to be funny!

That’s just about everyone right? Okay, sounds great, but how do I learn to be funny? Well, how did you learn to do mathematics? First you were given a formula, then you practiced using it over and over again. It was hard at first – you really had to think. But after doing heaps of problems, it was easy. You could do it in your sleep. It is the same with humour.

So what is the formula to being funny?

Make yourself comfortable here because I am about to share with you the secret to all humour.

The human brain operates by continuously looking for patterns. It does this so that it can constantly predict the outcome of a situation. When a story is began, the brain immediately finds a familiar pattern to associate it to, so that it can predict where it is going. But when this pattern is disrupted and a connection is suddenly made to an entirely new and unexpected pattern, laughter occurs as this new connection is made.

Okay, that’s a bit heavy. How does it actually work?

Well lets take an example. “Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do, you will be a mile away and have their shoes.”

A bit of an old classic, but it clearly demonstrates what we are talking about. The first part of this line – the setup – creates a mental pattern which makes you think a certain way. If we just left it here, you would be thinking I am trying to tell you to be slow to criticise someone and first try to understand them. Now I haven’t actually said this, but the mental pattern predicts this outcome. However, when I drop the second part – the punch line – all of a sudden this first pattern is interrupted and a connection is made to an entirely new, unexpected pattern. Now I am telling you to make sure you can get away with it and have the advantage. The important thing is though, that there is still a connection between the first part and the second part – it still makes sense. It is just not what you first expected. The first pattern has been disrupted. This is how all humour is created.

So how can I use that to be funny?

First create a setup. You say something which has an implied outcome. “I would love to tell you just what a great job you are doing”

The implied outcome is that I like the job this person is doing and I am complimenting them. But then I slam em with the punch line. “But I don’t want to ruin my honest reputation.”

Okay, not quite the outcome expected, but it still makes sense. This is humour.

All this might seem like a complicated process, but this is the formula for making people laugh. Remember the first time you were given a mathematics formula to play around with? It was long and complicated at first, but with a bit of practice it soon became easy. If you use this formula to create lots of jokes, very soon it will be automatic. You will have trained your mind to instantly create humour on command. You will have learnt to be funny.

What I have just shared with you is the basic formula to be funny on command. The number one resource which I recommend to supercharge your humour to incredible heights in as little as seven days is an e-book called “How to be FUNNY!” written by Stanley Lyndon. This not only takes you step by step how to create humour but also gives a wealth of techniques you can instantly use to maximise your humour to gut-tearing proportions!

Fabian Tan asked:


Where is your article going to be published and what kind of people are going to read your piece? These article writing tips help in choice of writing style as that gives the reader an idea of your maturity and ideology. Worse, it can also give the impression of vapidity if you tend to be frivolous in your style of writing.

1. Formality

If you are writing to a young audience, an easygoing style is acceptable. An informal greeting and a joke are a good way to get interest. If the audience is young adult, you have to take care that your attempt at informality does not sound contrived. With an adult audience, the level of formality increases. Though you may start your article with an anecdote to garner attention, the body of your article must remain formal.

2. Friendliness

This is an important aspect of article writing tips. Children respond well to a friendly tone as do young adults. The friendliness should be tempered on the basis of choice of subject. If you are writing an article on animal training for a young audience, you can introduce them to the feelings of the animal in a way that they can relate to. With an older audience, it is better to state the facts about the animal’s feelings since the audience expects to be informed rather than get feelings drawn in.

3. Conciseness

This is the most important of article writing tips. No audience will stay with a written piece that rambles. Human concentration spans are short. If you do not capture reader interest with your introduction, you have lost the chance to be read.

Michael Dat asked:


Striking up a good conversation with your date can be as challenging as coming up with real good sensible questions to ask her. Common questions like “where do you live” or “what do you work as” are really typical and boring.

Others try to be a little bit cheeky and try asking joke-like questions instead. Some leaves a good impression on their date, but others are immediately struck off the dating list. Learn to be the smart AND cheeky one, and ask funny dating questions, instead of the mundane ones that bore your dates to death.

“Funny” can mean two different things. Funny hilarious or Funny weird.

The idea here is not to be funny hilarious. Funny dating questions can be pretty lame or sometimes when there is too much jokes around, it just spoils the whole dating mood. Dating questions like…

You: Did you know that Elvis died …

Her: Yeah.

You:.. his hair! (quickly)

Some guys can be pretty good with these kind of tricky cheeky questions, so if you think that you are one of them, then you should give it a try. Otherwise, if you think you are not the kind of person who can ***** good jokes, then stay away from such questions at all costs.

Next you have the Funny weird kind of dating questions. These are the kind of questions that your date would not expect you to ask. This is pretty good so that you are able to analyze for yourself what kind of a person your date is.

Is she humorous? Is she shy but ticklish? Or is she a person that you shouldn’t mess with?

If you are looking for funny weird dating questions to ask, then check out the list below:

1)What’s your favorite domestic animal?

2)If you were alone in a forest, how would you feel?

3)If you were in a white room surrounded by people dressed in white, what kind of emotions do you feel?

These questions are not any kind of questions. These questions are meant to make you understand her and her life better. Like for question 1, her favorite domestic animal is how she thinks other people views her. For question 2, her emotions will tell you how she feels about death and for question 3, her emotions will tell you how she views marriage.

And the 4th question, which many of us would consider it as the most important question:

4)What’s your favorite food? Give three reasons why?

Her answer to this question will tell you of her views on ***. Interesting isn’t it?

This is just one of the few ways which you can use funny weird dating questions to check out the inner thoughts on how your date views life So, indirectly, you will get to know so much more about her without her even feeling interrogated by you.

As a guide, try to mix these weird questions around the conversation instead of bombarding her with weird questions all at one go. You definitely would not want to sound like a weirdo, would you?

Allen Jesson asked:


When it comes to writing a funny love poem you may find yourself faced with a task a lot harder that first thought.

This article contains tips and ideas that will help you write a funny love poem.

Before you begin your funny love poem I would recommend reading and listing to other poems in the same genre. This will give you some ideas about the styles they were written. You will also be able to decide if your funny love poem is going to be long or short, rhyming or not rhyming.

Find inspiration, by simply reading a verse or line from another funny love poem you may just find the inspiration to write your own. Once you have the foundation you then need to bulk it out.

If your funny love poem is intended for someone in particular you may already have ideas about what you want to include. If this is the case then spend some time making notes about the specific thing you want to incorporate.

As hard as it sounds try to write down your emotions and feeling as this is what makes a poem special and meaningful. do not be afraid to say things you would not normally say.

Think about the event or person the funny love poem is for, writing notes or a list as you remember the emotions and feeling you had at that time and have now. Once the list is written you can then go through and add or remove what ever you see fit.

You will need to think about the style of your funny love poem. There are many styles of poems including haiku, sonnets, limericks or free verse. It is important to decide the style before actually putting your poem together.

Use vivid descriptions and words of emotion such as love, happiness and joy. Try to include descriptive images, so instead of putting ‘the garden’ put ‘the lush green garden’ these descriptions will paint a better picture in the readers mind.

Always save the best part of your funny love poem for the end. The end should be like a punch line to a joke, something that gives the reader something to think about after the poem has been read.

When you feel your funny love poem is complete read it and read it again, do not be afraid to edit and make changes or better still ask others for their opinions and advice in how they feel the poem reads.

The most important thing is to be sincere, especially if you are going to be giving the poem as a gift to someone you love.

Soren M. asked:


Cultures vary greatly in their perception of what’s funny — you’ll realize this if you ever travel to a foreign culture and attempt to translate a joke that works well in your native culture. This fact didn’t stop Professor Richard Wiseman (of the The British Association for the Advancement of Science) to attempt to determine what is the funniest joke in the world. The joke would have to be ranked highest among many countries of vastly different cultures.

The project set out a request for joke submissions. The result was 40,000 jokes. The researchers had the jokes rated by a large sample population from diverse areas of the globe. The project was formally called LaughLab.

I’ve often thought that if mankind ever discovered the funniest joke in the world, he may fall into a constant state of laughter and never regain his composure, possibly resulting in cardiac arrest or asphyxiation. In other words, he may laugh himself to death. I wondered if perhaps an ancient people had discovered the funniest joke, and had determined that it’s deadly for people to hear. Maybe it’s hidden in an ancient realm — like the ark of the covenant — possibly guarded by a long line of comedians. Is it like the DaVinci Code: A secret that mankind was never meant to uncover?

We may never know that answer, but at least we’ll know what Dr. Wiseman determined to be the funniest joke across all cultures, Fortunately it won’t send you into a deadly laughing fit. According to a multi-cultural sample, the funniest joke is the following:

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?

Don’t die on me — it’s not that funny. If you’re looking for the best jokes in the world, visit my site.

ep your speech under five minutes long if possible.

Save the jokes for Henny Youngman:

Public speakers often like to try and break the ice with a joke, have you ever noticed that?Whatever the case may be, it can be a good idea to know how to make the appropriate wedding speech. Some people may think these points are obvious, but theyre not the ones that are giving the speech. People are at the wedding to share in the couples joy and have a good time. No one will be able to do either if you talk for too great a length of time. Have you also noticed that the jokes are usually bad? No matter how popular you are, no one is there to see you. The wedding day is all about the bride and groom. This is their day in the sun, so to speak. With the right ideas and a minimal amount of preparation, even the most tongue tangled individual can come off like The Great Orator at least for five minutes or so when speaking at a wedding. Sooner or later, at some point in your life, you may be called upon to speak at someones wedding. Perhaps youll be the proud father of the bride or someones best man. If youre not much for public speaking, you may find these tips helpful if you ever have to speak at someones wedding.

Keep it Short:

The worst part of any wedding celebration is when some long winded buffoon drones on and on during his opportunity to make a wedding speech. No one wants to listen to your ramblings for forty minutes, no matter how interesting you may think they are. These people have professional speech writers working for them. You do not. Unless you are truly a funny person (your name is Robin Williams, for example), steer clear of the jokes. If you do have to make jokes during your wedding speech, try to make them appropriate for the occasion. Jokes about weddings in general or the people in attendance will always work better than jokes of the a guy walks into a bar variety. Also remember that jokes at the grooms expense are funny while those at the brides expense are not. Thats just the way it is.

Sentimentality Works:

People get all warm, fuzzy, and gushy at weddings. Sharing sentimental stories about the couple and how in love they are, about your own wedding, or any other appropriately smarmy topic will have them eating out of your hand. Make the focus of your wedding speech the subject of love and roses and good feelings and puppies and you cant go wrong.

This Day is Not About You:

This is perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when preparing and making a wedding speech. Keep your stories and anecdotes focused on the happy couple so that they can stay that way while you are speaking.

Nahshon Roberts asked:


Your micro video camera can be used for recreational purposes, too! Just because it is used for monitoring nannies and employees, cheating husbands and erring children, cops and robbers, does not necessarily mean that it cannot be used for good, clean fun, too! Here is how.

Remote Controlled Toys

If you attach a micro video camera to a remote controlled toy, you will get a feeling akin to playing a racing video game. The only visible difference is that instead of virtual landscapes, you will be navigating real terrain.

You can attach a micro video camera to the nose of your toy helicopter or plane and watch your neighborhood park and your yard from a totally different perspective! You can control the toy to zoom around the neighborhood just so you can get to know the layout more. Just be very careful that you do not exceed the limits on objective expectation of privacy and other laws lest you find yourself in a totally different neighborhood, otherwise known as the jailhouse.

As to your toy car, you can also attach the micro video camera inside it. Watch how grass looks from an ant’s point of view, almost like being in the “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” movie! You never know when you can use the footage for your very own “shrinking” home movie, right?

You should look for a camera that can be plugged into the receiver as power source or a camera that can be used with a Y splitter. The idea is that your tiny camera will operate on the same battery as that of the toy vehicle.

Practical Jokes

If you are a fan of *** shows like “Candid Camera”, a micro video camera is the right tool to get you started on a career as a practical joker. Just remember that your practical jokes must never endanger the lives of the targets; go easy on scare jokes for old people, weights falling down on heads, and other potentially fatal pranks.

You can position the hidden camera in a strategic place – opposite the doorway when the joke involves door pranks like stacking up books to block the entryway, up above the ceiling for better coverage, inside the bathroom for monsters-popping-up-on-the-toilet-seat pranks, and other places you deem good for capturing the action. Again, be mindful of privacy issues.

Voyeuristic Tendencies

This is an extreme in recreational purposes for a micro video camera. You are endangering your freedom in exchange for satisfying your sexual kicks. Then again, America has always been about “each to his own”, right?

There a few things you need to remember on voyeurism. You are invading the privacy of the individuals you are videotaping without their consent. As such, you can be prosecuted and jailed for violating the laws. You might be able to hide pinhole cameras to become a high-tech peeping Tom but only under the cloud of a felony (and more than 12 years of prison time for some crimes) hanging over your head.

Is it not better to play with toys and jokes than with privacy issues? The next time you think of using your pinhole cameras for recreation, try to stay within the confines of decency and of the law.

Joel Owens asked:


The adage, laughter is the best medicine, proves to be true when it comes to keeping heart attacks at bay. Recent studies conducted at a university in Baltimore show that people who always have a good laugh are less likely to have heart diseases. Further, people with heart diseases are found 40% less probable to laugh and become humorous compared to people to those without heart problems. If this is true, the very elixir that could solve a serious medical condition pertaining to the heart is found the very primordial act of laughing at really funny jokes.

A good belly laugh considered to be a form of exercise. It can serve as an internal exercise because it provides a good cardiac stimulation and conditioning. This is especially important to those who dont have the time to exercise or do physical activities. Laughing also prevents hypertension because it lessens the likeliness of stress. It relaxes muscles and lessens the supply of dopamine in he blood, a hormone known to induce the fight or flight response.

Knowing all these, how can you practice the habit of laughing to keep heart attack away? Here are some ways.

1. Think of happy thoughts.

Keeping a light-hearted disposition is crucial in preventing heart attacks. Try to recall the things that you find funny. This may include a hilarious scene on TV, news or an event. Whenever stress starts keeping in, think about these situations can lower your stress and anxiety levels.

2. Engage in a healthy and entertaining conversation with close friends.

Doing this does not only produce some natural laughter, but also helps maintain good mental health. It gives a light feeling and relieves tension.

3. Watch funny movies and TV shows.

This is probably one of the easiest things to do to laugh. Immersing in the hilarity of others propensity for funny antics is the ultimate way to turn off sadness and stress. The heart benefits a lot from the laughter you give out.

4. Read some really funny jokes.

Fortunately, there are lots of good sites on the internet that feature jokes and pranks that people can laugh at. When the feeling of heaviness of heart creeps in, dont wallow in misery. Taking care of the heart through laughing is very important.

5. Relax!

Dont pretend to have fun, but let laughter come naturally. It is also not advisable to be so serious about life. If theres a big hindrance on the road, dont lash out and go berserk. Relax and respond humorously to everyday lifes situation. Think of positive things that could still induce some laughter amidst a stressful incident. Remember that most of the time, stress is only in the mind.

Nursing loneliness and anguish is the fastest way to a nasty and life-threatening heart attack. Dont treat your heart like you have another one in the bank in case what you have fails to beat. Nurture a happy disposition, laugh at really funny jokes, and smile to ensure a healthy heart.
