These humorous jokes are not just funny, they are bound to make you laugh for a long time. Jokes, especially really humorous ones, not only makes us laugh, but offer many benefits that positively impact bodies and minds. How can you tell a good snack from a bad one? The good one always comes through when the chips are down.
Why do men find it difficult to make eye contact? A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. How do you get a sweet year-old lady to say the F word? As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools. What did one ocean say to the other ocean?
I use it with patients to lighten the mood and to emphasise our mutual humanity. It can never be scripted and instead relies on instinct. I need to have an established relationship with the person before I consider introducing humour into our exchange.
There are two basic types of humor: verbal-based humor and content-based humor. With verbal-based humor you play around with the meanings of words and if you use different words than the ones initially used in the joke, then you will lose the humor. We have looked at verbal-based humor or play on words in the last post. In this post, we will focus on content-based humor or what I like to call play on things. With content-based humor, the humor is not in the words used themselves, but in the entire idea that is being conveyed.
