A Bit of Comedy
Everybody needs comedy, right? It’s timeless and — if executed correctly — can brighten a person’s day. People have been telling jokes since before the days of Julius Caesar. Speaking of which, did you know that any salad can be a Caesar salad if you stab it enough times?… Ouch... Well, I personally thought that was pretty funny. I assume you either grinned or cringed when you read that. Both are suitable reactions, and I don’t blame you for either. However, I’ll go ahead and apologize for that jab… Pun intended.
Comedy just makes you laugh. Laughter is healing — it’s been proven by smart people (AKA scientists). Everybody needs to laugh, although sometimes it’s hard to force a chuckle.
Maybe your day is stuck in a rut and you need a boost. Maybe you are about to sit next to your buddy in Spanish class, and he’s looking kind of sad. Maybe you are going to a friend’s house and they’re having a rough day. Well, friendly consoling is recommended, and that is the first tactic you should try. Just be a friend (that’s a completely different topic, though).
But another duty of a friend is to provide a bit of light as well as a shoulder. It doesn’t even matter if you have a specific joke on hand. Just saying something funny or trying to make them laugh is enough. Make a joke about Chuck Norris (but never make fun of Chuck Norris. NEVER do that). You can benefit from this, too.
All that said, it’s good and healthy to hear simple everyday slapstick, witty, punny, ROFL humor. Or maybe LOL humor. Or FBI humor. HSLDA humor. WHATEVENISTHISANYMORE humor… I apologize. I’m not a certified comedian. That’s why I’ve compiled a short list of jokes and one-liners that I have found on Google and in memes. Hopefully it will make your day a little brighter.
