The road to becoming a better person: Making people laugh (in the attempt to)

One of the things I wanted but do not have,
is the ability to make people laugh.
Though, I do very well in making fun of people.(Sometimes)
Both them and their jokes.

I can take jokes, but I just can't tell them.
Instead of laughing at the joke,
my friends usually laugh at me or the awkward silent when I expect them to laugh.
Or even worse, they'll laugh when I make a serious comment.
Which to them, seems very funny.
I wonder why.

So I always thought that I am a boring person, serious type.
And I truly think that I write better than I speak.


I have deep respect of those who have this gifting.
Bringing a smile onto someone, cheering them up.
It's a great way to bond too, it helps breaking ice easier.
I find that people who have this talent is far more approachable and friendly than any other personality types.
Yes, I want to be like that too.

So, I downloaded some Jokes app to learn some new jokes.
Since, I am such a serious person,
I shall seriously try to be a more cheery person.
(Though I don't think I'm much of a serious person too,
more often than not, I'll be at rainbow-candy-la-la-land.)


And I am not saying being serious is not good.
I like being serious, and there are many situations that calls for that too.
Just that, in my opinion, people would relax faster with a new friend
who is smiling and good at cracking everybody up,
instead of a straight-laced stone-faced person.
And I do want to have things to say to fill up awkward silents here and there,
to new friends, or old friends I met on the bus.


Well, I shall share some jokes with you!

 Walking home after a Halloween party, two young men decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery for a thrill. They both stopped abruptly when they heard a mysterious tap-tap-tapping noise in the shadows. Their eyes grew large until the mist cleared and they saw an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping at one of the headstones. 'Geez, mister!' one of them exclaimed. 'You scared us half to death! We thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?' The old man replied angrily, 'Those darn fools misspelled my name!'

 A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him. 'Why do we have to learn this stuff?' one young man blurted out. 'To save lives,' the professor responded before continuing the lecture. A few minutes later the student spoke up again. 'So how does physics save lives?' The professor stared at the student for a long time without saying a word. Finally the professor continued. 'Physics saves lives,' he said, 'because it keeps certain people out of medical school.'

 A man approached a very beautiful woman in a large supermarket and asked, 'You know, I've lost my wife here in the supermarket. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?' "Why?" 'Because every time I talk to a beautiful woman my wife appears out of nowhere.'

LOL!
I still have to work on it...
Jiayou!

And God bless!
