How To Make A Woman Smile

By: Robert Thomson

If you don't think you're funny enough to make your friends laugh, then here is the right tutorial for you and your friends,because it explains different ways that will make you improve or even develop that skill.First let me demonstrate why is something funny from brilliant neurologists point of view. When we comprehend new things, the mind builds the new path, from a brain cell to another brain cell.

That path is what we call the synapse and it works, for instance, like this:While thinking about food, if we think of, let's say, apples our mind will make a route (the synapse which will get thicker), connecting the two neural cells that contain the data we have on food and this fruit. The next time the food pops up in your mind, there are good chances the apples will come along, as well. You are thinking, what the heck does this have to do with humor? It's pretty simple - humor actually works this way!

This process begins with you hearing a short, yet common story. Stand-up comedians call this a setup. So now, you're expected to have a certain way of thinking towards the story you've heard. Furthermore, the brain connects the given setup to an appropriate punch-line. A completely different version of the punch-line, that you have not thought of, is what will make you laugh. And in case, you don't get this, the following example will help you out.

The Setup:
What is the most satisfying thing next to being shot at and missed?
The Punch-line:
An income tax refund.

What did you think when you heard the setup? I am positive you thought the car was being driven by one of the three. During the setup our mind was forced to think this way. You surely noticed that the punch-line is very different than the one you had in mind. This is of big importance as it's the main principle of the way humor works.

The main thing is good setup. The best comedians will always tell you the setup in a way that will leave you with many possible punch-lines to think of. Now, the more you believe your punch-line is the best one, the more you'll laugh when you hear the real one. In case you have already heard the joke, it will probably not be as funny, simply because your brain knows the punch-line, therefore it won't create any new routes.

This should be helpful in case you want to make up new jokes. When a man tells a story that everyone thinks about in the same way, but you figure out a different way to understand it. Now, if you tell this to others, it should be hilarious.
