How To Be Funny

Some things are les while walking, it ionly funny in certain situations, so you must be ready with your humor. For example, if someone stumbs funny to say, "First day on your new feet?" However, it is not funny to say this twenty minutes later, when the stumbling has been forgotten. Timing is the essence of comedy, so you should always be ready to capitalize on the current situation. Here are some common situational jokes you can use the next time the opportunity presents itself. You should memorize these and use them as often as possible to show how funny you are. Note that some situations have more than one appropriate response. You might try to alternate between the various responses to show your diversity. On the other hand, it never hurts to fall back on an old standby. If a joke is funny once, it stands to reason that it will be funny twenty more times.

Lies are inherently funny. If someone behind you in line asks how long you've been waiting, and you say "forever and a day," that's funny because it's a lie. Political jokes are popular because they're lies about liars. If a United States president is portrayed as a giant vending machine handing cash to a donkey, that's funny, because it's a lie. Probably what really happened was he gave the money to an elephant and a guy with a scythe.

Another type of "lie" that is funny is when you see something in a place where it couldn't be, or doing something that isn't possible. This type of humor is both untrue and unexpected, so it's doubly funny. For instance, if a big fat cartoon character like Elmer Fudd tiptoes behind a skinny little tree and hides, that's funny. If a skinny little cartoon character like Bugs Bunny hides behind Elm

Fun is what you make it

Fun is what you make it

High fives As previously noted, fun is closely related to that enjoyable sensation called pleasure. This sensation can have a positive as well as a negative connotation. We must learn how to feel pleasure in a positive way—without harming ourselves or those around us. The Church gives us plenty of opportunities to accomplish this, through summer camps, socials and other activities where we meet people with our same beliefs.

Through the Church we can make friends and incorporate them into our social group. We can share healthy ways to have fun that will not leave us with regrets. However, even though this may sound simple and sensible, it takes a while for many to understand it. Being young in this present age is not easy. Temptations surround us and it is hard to go against the flow.
Climbing the wall

Our minds often find ways to justify our behavior and many times we don't even realize when we've fallen. The best solution is to have fun with friends who share the same Christian values—friends, incidentally, who will also stick with us through difficult times andtell us when we are headed in the wrong direction (Proverbs 27:6, 9).

We need to look for healthy relationships with people who will encourage us to live godly lives. Some of our suggestions for fun with no-regrets include: camping out, playing cards or games with a group of friends, sharing a meal with others, barbecuing with friends, playing tennis, volleyball or other sports. There are many other good options to choose from—just be sure they are based on right principles.

Defining "fun"

Fun can be defined as a pleasurable experience, enjoyable occupation or an activity that involves amusement or pleasure. But what do we view as fun? The answer will likely depend on our age, because what's pleasant and fun for a child is not necessarily entertaining and fun for a teenager or an adult. What people consider fun often changes with age and maturity.
Pleasure and fun today

There are infinite ways to feel excitement and pleasure, and to have fun. Some people would rather go to a movie than hang out with friends or go dancing. Others care more about doing what's "cool" according to their peers, no matter whether it is goodor badfor them. It all depends on what motivates us.

Today, many engage in excessive drinking, raves, clubbing and mosh-pits, drugs, sex, video entertainment and other activities to meet their lust for stimulation, distraction and their definition of fun. But, what are the possible effects of these fun activities? Should fun come with a price—a penalty?

We live in a world where money, technology and sensual pleasure rule. When these factors combine, people are given an infinite number of choices on how to spend time and be entertained. Unfortunately, it seems that human nature always manages to find the most risky and damaging ways to accomplish this

TRY TO DO THAT



What Is "Fun" Anyway?

What is it that motivates you to play a game? There’s the catch-all term, ‘fun’, which I love and loathe in equal measure.



I love it because it binds all of us who indulge in interactive entertainment together: One Nation Under A Game. But I loathe it for much the same reason; the word ‘fun’ is so overly broad that it often fails to capture the specific experience that I’m looking for, the precise itch I want scratched. Am I looking to kill time? Challenge myself? Compete against someone else? Pretend to be something I’m not? Lose myself in another world? All of the above?



The simple answer, of course, is that it depends. The more complicated answer is that, as of late, I’ve found it difficult to motivate myself to complete story-based games like Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Increasingly, I don’t want to remember what I was doing when I last played. I don’t want to recall which button does what. I don’t want to remember how much I have previously accomplished. I don’t want to return to a particular emotional state that corresponds to where I left off in the narrative or mission structure. Once I do all of those things, I’m good to go. But given my increasingly busy life, the time and effort that it takes to properly resume my place in the game-story feels too much like, well, work.

IT IS NOT FUNNY!


The use of fun as an attributive adjective, as in a fun time, a fun place, probably originated in a playful reanalysis of the use of the word in sentences such as It is fun to ski, where fun has the syntactic function of adjectives such as amusing or enjoyable. The usage became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, though there is some evidence to suggest that it has 19th-century antecedents, but it can still raise eyebrows among traditionalists. The day may come when this usage is entirely unremarkable, but writers may want to avoid it in more formal contexts.
