Learning to be funny

Yesterday I spend wonderful morning learning about how to be funny at the Florida Speakers Associ
ations meeting. Andy Dooley was the speaker and is topic was “Show Me the Funny!”
Not to be too critical but Andy is just funny to look at. Then he went into his running story about how he can feel the wind blow throw his hair, he has no hair. The morning went on just like that, along with things you can do that makes things funnier.

Here is one and you can try it. It is called the rule of three. What this means is you say two things that make sense, but the third one is of the wall. Here are some examples. They have these dresses in small, medium and tent, or this one from Lucille Ball. There secret of staying young is to live if to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about you age. The rule of three almost always will get you a laugh.
If you don’t get a laugh you can try these save yourself comments. Whoever said, “Silence is golden” never tried comedy. Or just try “Oh will” and move one.

Andy had an ice breaker and it was called Sip, Sap, and Sop and here how it worked. Your get about seven people in a circle all facing one another, then you aims at someone and say sip and then the person who go the sip aims there had at someone and say sap then that person aims their hand at someone and says sop. The groups keep doing these till someone make a mistake. When that happens everyone claps. The Sip, sap Sop starts over. Each time getting faster and faster till everyone stops with laughter. Sip. Sap, Sop sound dump and it is, but sure gets everyone involved.

Andy had much more to teach us about being funny and i'll share more of what he taught us at a later time.

Remember people are happier and remember more when their laughing.

Happiness with Wealth to you
