O’er grassy dale, and lowland scene
Come see, come hear, the English Scheme! [...]

Peter Cook’s jokes, bad dope, check shirts, lousy groups
Point their fingers at America
Down pokey quaint streets in Cambridge
Cycles our distant spastic heritage
Its a gay red, roundhead, army career, grim head
If we was smart we’d emigrate…

Beautiful: they rhymed “thought” with “sport”. Brooklyn to the bone!

It’s like Long Island threw up all over them.

To improve your proficiency, ask yourself the following questions on a regular basis:

  • In a seemingly serious situation, what nuggets of humor or irony can I find?
  • When faced with a potentially difficult situation, is there a way that humor could help? Could lead to a better outcome?
  • Am I funnier than I think I am? Less funny? Who will give me an honest assessment of my sense of humor?
  • Could I start my next meeting, presentation, or conversation by telling a funny story?
  • What are the humorous situations in my life that have taught me something?

To avoid overdoing humor, ask yourself:

  • When have I used humor in the last year when I shouldn’t have? When may it have backfired?
  • Do I ever encourage a near party atmosphere because of my comfort with using humor?
  • Knowing that some people are more easily offended than I, could my use of humor put people off? Is there a chance I’m offending people but I’m unaware of it?
  • Do I avoid discussing or solving the real issue by making a joke?

Just a few pointers:

1. Make sure all the text is on the scanning bed
2. Try to have the text/page parallel to the scanning bed
3. Have fun with it!
