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
