Can you imagine a world without humor? Would it even be worth living in? The sound of people laughing in the store a couple isles over. Late night comedy shows replaced with infomercials…
There wouldn’t even be a comedy channel (or 20). Youtube would be a lot less entertaining. Pinterest would mostly only have weight loss tips and dessert recipes. Tickling wouldn’t be nearly as much fun for either person. Your funny friend would be just another boring person you never took the time to get to know. Lucky for us humor does exist. Don’t be too surprised if your taste in jokes changes over time. And by time, we mean it could take years, or it could be as fast as clicking the mouse on a different youtube video, or swiping your finger to a new set of pins on Pinterest. The group of people you are hanging around can determine what is funny or not. A racy joke can literally make you laugh out loud with some of your close friends, or it could make you turn away in shame when you are around your grandmother. Even so, your grandmother is probably laughing a lot inside. She will laugh at the joke and laugh at the humor she sees in your embarrassment.
2. Saying "have a nice day" to someone sounds friendly.
But saying "enjoy your next 24 hours" sounds threatening. Not much in life can beat the sound of children laughing. Walking around town and you hear the distant sound of a Childs belly laugh almost always brings a smile to everyones face. Kids have a great sense of humor. They are ready to laugh at just about anything. Kid jokes might not be all that complicated but the results you get from them are definitely worth memorizing a few. You can get paid in laughter, and you get to be their best friend. Have you ever wanted to bottle the sound of their fast high pitched laughter? You might not be able to directly, but you can memorize a few kid jokes, and be able to produce that sound whenever there are children around.
Passing the time at work is so very much more enjoyable when you can share jokes. A little workplace humor can build a better work environment by strengthening the bond between coworkers. The watercolor can be a place to he’d for a little lighthearted fun when you go equipped with a new joke or two. The boss can help everyone relax a bit if they start a training meeting with a joke. They would probably do well to hire a comedian to the meeting, at the beginning and end to boost morale. Seriousness doesn’t strengthen loyalty nearly as much as a good dose of humor can.
4. BOSS: You should have been here at 8.
ME: Why, what happened at 8? Are you one of those people that makes friends easily? If you are, there is a good chance that you have a good sense of humor, and you show it on your face. Being quick to make others laugh is a skill that almost all likable people share. Don’t have a sense of humor? Get one! Yes it can be as simple as that. Learn some jokes, and then practice them. Practice them everywhere, and practice them often. You can choose to be funny. Ask yourself this. Do you care if a comedian is short or tall, skinny or fat, ugly or good looking? Most likely your answer is “No”. Nobody else cares what you look like either if you are making them laugh. Odds are, that you will be more attractive if you are funny sometimes.
