I once heard a 22 year old girl say – “I want to marry a man who is humorous and interesting. I don’t care how he looks or how much he earns. Laughter is the best catalyst to drive a relationship”. This statement is true in every sense. People often get blinded by this materialistic world and forget the true source of enjoyment and perennial river of excitement. Just like this girl, I adhere to the principle of riding on the ship of humor which will encapsulate the realistic attire of any kind of relationship.
It's true that not every man or woman is gifted with quick witted humor and or knows how to be witty. There are some people who are infamously humorous and people around them find it apt to be around them at all times. What about others? Do they just stand around the humorous ones and laugh at the words that come out of these lucky ones? I don’t think so.
There are different kinds of humor. There is Seinfeld kind of dry humor or Jim Carrey kind of expressional humor. Some people who are more sadistic in nature have satirical humorous which is critical in nature. The cruelest one is the practical humor which could possibly be ugly at times.
An interesting aspect of life is that there are people who like different kinds of humor and dislike some. As an example, I wouldn’t like blue humor which makes fun of body parts and bodily functions. On the other hand, I am gifted with Freudian slip (a funny statement that comes out subconsciously). My point is that not every one of us likes the same kind of humor.
So how can a person who thinks he’s not humorous can become humorous? I am sure that this question is circling around not just in an individual but also in different social gatherings. I have seen people who accept blindly that they have no talent that would be remotely close to the word ‘humor’ and hence they would go with the fact that they are uninteresting. This is so untrue. Each and every one of us is gifted with our own version of humor. The crucial thing is to figure out how we are gifted. I know that I can never have dry humor but I can be satirical and show an extensive amount of exaggerator humor.
How to be Funny? Very simple. Every time I had a conversation and tried to be funny, I examined myself. I figured which are the humorous punch lines that came out of my mouth drew the most laughs. Everybody can follow the same path. You just need to think what you say how people react when you say things that ends up being a humdinger. Listen to yourself carefully and analyze your strengths and weaknesses and I assure you that you would be the one who would be drawing crowds. The strength lies within oneself and detection is beyond comparison to any other art you might learn.
