Any good friend of mine can tell you that I love to pepper in some funny stuff in what I write and do. Some of my inspirations on this front are Jerry Seinfeld, Lewis Black, the writers of You Don't Know Jack, and a few others that I cannot name off the top of my head ATM.

I wish I could write stand up comedy. Trouble is, it's hard to come up with good jokes on the fly, and I am known for doing things that way. Anybody want to share their humorous stuff?

The best way to make something funny is basically compare it something well wrong.
like a necrophilia's dream job would be a cornarer or how ever it's spelt.
If expressions were taken seriously. Break a leg. Well let your appendix explode.

Here's a joke of mine, about sports:
You ever notice that in the NBA, a few teams have retired the microphone? Of course, you do realize that they are all play-by-play announcers for the team that they called for. Wouldn't be just crazy if the teams ACTUALLY retired the microphone? I mean, it'd cause a HUGE hornet's nest of trouble. We wouldn't hear the PA announcer, or either of the radio broadcasters! Just think of what trouble this could cause: "And NOW, AT POINT GUARD..." "WHAT?!" "And NOW, AT POINT GUARD..." "WHAT?!" It'd be a HUGE problem!
