Laughter can be the quickest abdominal workout, just in time for your New Year’s declarations.
To break the darkness of winter, here are some crowd favorites I use from my 7-minute comedy skits for various events:
Weight loss related:
*Why is the narrowest aisle at Wal-Mart the one that’s stocked with weight loss products and supplements?
*Have you ever noticed that magazine weight loss articles are often followed by pages of carb-loaded recipes and desserts?
*Are there grief support groups for weight loss?
Inspired by road signs:
* “Restroom Out of Order”: Anything out of order is an OCD person’s worst nightmare.
* “Call us to take care of all your pest control needs”: I called to find out that they don’t take care of co-workers and neighbors.
* “We’re voted #1”: By who? For what? So many possibilities to fill in the blanks there….
* “We wax everything from eyebrows to bikini areas”: I drove up to the door and asked for a quote to wax my car.
Related to Employment:
* “Now hiring dancers”: I auditioned with my best Chicken Dance and Hokey Pokey moves.
* In response to an interview question: Where do you see yourself in 3 years? I’m unable to see that kind of distance without a stronger prescription for my glasses.
* Are you familiar with gaming? Yes, I play a pretty mean game of Candyland and Uno.
Random musings
*Is there a computer font named baptismal font?
*Did Mary Poppins require umbrella insurance?
*When birds dive-bomb people, do they make human calls like hunters make duck and turkey calls?
*After babysitting, I realize kidnapping is an oxymoron: kids don’t nap.
Hope you have a happy 2024 and a hopeful 2025!
Jingle Bells…laughing all the way…
