“Humor is the great thing. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments flit away.” ~ Mark Twain
Dear subscriber,
The man at the bar who can make the laydeez laugh…
… the woman who can make her girlfriends cackle…
… the boy in the playground who can make his mates snicker…
… the girl at a sleepover who can make her girlfriends giggle…
… the teacher who can make their students chuckle…
… the politician who can get his audience guffawing (I’m running out of synonyms)
… the salesperson who can get his prospects, customers, and clients to laugh…
… ALL have a huge advantage in life.
Yup, there’s no better way to grease the wheels of any social interaction than humor.
John Cleese once put it this way: “Laughter connects you with people. It’s almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you’re howling with laughter.”
Agreed.
You think developing your humor might help you in business, Freckles?
Look, if you don’t see how using humor can improve the interactions with your prospects, customers, and clients, I dunno what to tell you.
But for those who do, you will love the August issue. It has some insights into humor that will help even the humor-impaired amongst you.
Insights like this:
*An almost “too easy” (yet hardly anyone does this) way to learn joke writing and just being funny in general. (I first started doing this when I was about 14 years old, and it’s always served me well in social settings and yes… in my promotional emails. – page 9)
*The little-known foundation behind almost all humor. This one little thing is what triggers laughter and without it… no laughter. It’s that simple. – page 9
*Two comedians I continually study to improve my writing. (There’s something both these world-class comedians do that can make your writing far more engaging. – page 10)
*The hidden formula behind almost every joke on late-night TV shows. I learned this from a joke writer who wrote jokes for the legendary Bill Hicks and was Jay Leno’s main joke writer for eight years. (This guy sits down and churns out hundreds of jokes a day. Here’s his exact formula. – page 13)
