Research every top ten topic.

If you skip this crucial step, you will be forced to start every list from square one. And starting from scratch can be very slow and frustrating. Therefore, whenever you attempt to write a humorous top ten list, your number one objective should be to gather as much information about the topic as possible.

The humorous twists come later. At the outset, you need something to twist. And that precious something is information. Without it, you literally won’t know what you’re talking about; or the best ways to poke fun at it.

Conducting a thorough job of research often turns up a considerable amount of inside information that provides precisely the ammunition you need to fire off a few hilarious lines that perfectly fit the topic of your list.

Less words mean more laughs.

When composing funny top ten lists, don’t give your readers too many words to process. Keep each list entry as short as possible. You must ruthlessly pare down each list entry to the absolute minimum number of words that will get your point across.

Extraneous words cause two fundamental problems: First, the extra words lead your readers off on confusing mental tangents. And secondly, readers frequently stumble over the unnecessary words and lose their train of thought. Either way, the end result will be a failure to understand your punch lines.

Remember: You’re not telling jokes! Every list entry must be a solid punch line. A funny top ten list must go bang, bang, bang; without benefit of any additional set-up lines. The title of your list is the only set-up line allowed.

After that, each entry must be totally self-contained, and able to stand on its own merits. Funny top ten lists are like Henny Youngman humor: “Take my wife … please!”  Read more...

Inspirational motivational speakers become indispensable when meetings become events where motivation is in short supply; the underachievers are pulled up; and competitors are lauded grudgingly for their successes. Keynote laughter speakers lighten up the atmosphere and put things in perspective in business meetings where big monetary figures are put on the tables; falling graphs are dissected to tiny atoms to be analyzed; and achievements are celebrated briefly only to facilitate the announcement of the next set of ambitious and sometimes over-ambitious business goals.

Meetings are seriously starved of humor. Insiders that are speaking at the meeting can never have the hold over the audience as trained corporate keynote speakers can, because they are always perceived either as bosses or sub-ordinates. In case the speakers from within the organization are enjoying their speeches, well in all probability, they alone have the privilege of doing so while the rest of the audience is struggling precariously to stay awake.

For meetings that do not have professional motivational humorous speakers, the typical scene is: the speakers and non-speakers as well as the achievers and the non- achievers all wait for the crucial lunch break, coffee break and the conclusion of the meeting. These breaks seem to be the highlight of the meetings with the intervening periods filled with rising emotions, boredom, drifting, and erotic thoughts. Ironic! But it’s true. Of course there are exceptions to his type of scenario. But the scenario described above is generally the rule.

Moreover, when fervent efforts at stifling yawns, changing sitting postures umpteen numbers of times, routine talks that seem like drones, and unenthusiastic applause; and all these laced with a staple solemnity seems to be the characteristics of a typical meeting, funny speakers become the desiderata in the scheme of things.  Read more...

Do you have a good sense of humor or are you a serious person that can come across as boring? If you are trying to meet women, especially the woman of your dreams you had better learn to develop a good personality that will be lighthearted and funny. This is another of those key points you need to work on.

Woman like a guy that is funny and confident. If you can make the girls laugh you have broken through a barrier of defense that they sometimes put up and made them smile. Having a good sense of humor shows you have some intelligence about you and are fun to be with.

Do you know some really funny jokes of a non sexual nature? This is the kind of joke you can tell a girl you have just met, no sexual jokes now because you will come across as immature to women that don’t know you. Also hold back on the sexual remarks you think are funny because they may not be funny to her.

Get a set of good jokes memorized and practice telling them so it comes across comfortably. You don’t want to stumble through the story and look stupid, especially if you forget the punch line. Learn to tell the joke using some funny voices and use your hands as you tell the story. You want to put some life into it.

Is it ok to use the same jokes all the time? Well yes, no one should know the difference but it would benefit you to add something new every so often. Work on your sense of humor and you can reap the rewards that it will bring you.

Using Laughter And Humor to Manage Stress

William Fry found that one minute of laughter does an equivalent amount of work as 15 minutes of work out on the rowing machine. Now is that not a fun and effective exercise to do?

Some studies show that a positive mindset, with a sense of humor and actual laughing help to improve outlook in life, gives better health and immune system. A sense of humor and actual laughing is touted to be an effective way to reduce stress.

Laughing, like deep breathing sends fresh oxygen into our cells and organs, pulls our body and facial muscles, changes our heart rate and blood pressure and increases the release of endorphins while reducing cortisol. Thank goodness for laughter that is free and a healthy sense of humor!

Never mind if you do not feel that there is very much to smile or laugh about. Some researches think that our body cannot tell if the laughter is spontaneous or simulated. So start smiling even when you do not feel like smiling and you can feel better. Start simulating the act of laughing; start learning how to laugh and have a little fun.  Take a lighter stance if you are feeling too serious, uptight or uneasy and see if we feel any differently.

Laughing, deep breathing replenishes your body with generous gulps of oxygen. And as you laugh more heartily, you begin to relax and see things with a different perspective. Your body then releases endorphins, the feel good chemical that will help you neutralize the sense of pressure and overwhelm.

Laughing heartily also help you burn up calories (about 50 calories for a good hearty laugh of 15 minutes, according to Maciej Buchowski)! That must be great news for those of us who are wanting to burn more calories! No wonder they say “Laughter is the Best Medicine”!  Read more...

Humor has the power to disorient, to transform people, improve their day-to-day. Not to mention that in situations extremely disconcerting or embarrassing irony is an extremely useful tool to hide and we can even say a certain class and charm to leave those situations.

The irony is applied on many occasions, imagine that on a night of autographs you open a book and begins to laugh non-stop, the only thing to say is: One day I plan to read!

You take the girl for the first time for dinner and leave it at home, you are not asked to enter a thought or even a good sentence is: “I had a wonderful evening and perfect, but this was not.”

The irony is that power, words are one thing, but the meaning is different, unlike often scream and protest being interpreted as a poorly educated and unprepared a good humorous phrase, can be a good way to vent and still be viewed favorably by all.

Nothing more annoying than people grumpy on your side whether at work or in family life. The grumpy receive less calls and people do not like it when they know it will arrive. After all who wants one of those people on your side.
