How to Write Humor

And it's the Saturday edition of Finding the Funny, which means I'll be giving you a tip to find the funny yourself! I've written for everyone from the Tonight Show to radio, syndicated cartoon strips, CEO's, companies like airline food vendors. I now travel the country showing organizations how to use humor in business.   So here's your 60 second tip. . . Use statistics. They may be boring, but they are your friend in comedy. Make them up or find out ones. If you find out that 60% of people do one particular thing, then you can make up what the other 40% do or vice versa. Statistics are weird and they are kept , and then make up reasons why this is what it is. It's a fun, quick way to find the funny. Listen to tomorrow's joke to hear one of my statistic jokes   If you want more fast tips on coming up with humor in your communications, then check out my book on Amazon – Finding the Funny Fast. It's how to create quick humor to connect with clients, coworkers and crowds.   That's it for today. Take care and enjoy your journey.
