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 wart removal cream makers, and even guests on the Jerry Springer show (my parents are proud). I now travel the country showing organizations how to use humor in business.

So here's your 60 second tip. If you want to add quick humor to an email or a memo or something, then change the definition of the acronyms. I know it sounds stupid, but really no one knows what those acronyms mean anyway. So have some fun and change the definition. Make RFP – request for proposal be Really Frustrating Paperwork or HMO – Health Maintenance Organization be Having Many Oops. Maybe if you add a little humor, people will actually read what you're sending them!

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.
