How to get an easy laugh that immediately makes people like you more.

Anyone who's met me knows I like to joke around.

I’ve had many people tell me I should do standup comedy. Too bad I prefer sitting down (ba dum tss)

But I’m no comedic genius. I recycle the same joke formats over and over again.

My most used is “The Absurd Assumption”. It’s perfect for breaking the ice when meeting someone new.

Once you get the hang of it, making people laugh becomes effortless.

Here is how it works:

When someone shares something about themselves, make an absurd assumption based on what they’ve said.

The easiest time to do this is after learning what they do for work.

• I’m a waiter/waitress: So, you must have a sixth sense for when someone’s about to need a refill.

• A nurse: So people hurt themselves and you’re there to kiss it better.

• A banker: So you see playing Monopoly as job training?

You only need to come up with a few. In social circle, 60% of people probably have the same 5 jobs.
