Find Funny Faster
Here’s The fastest way to funny
The fastest way to funny is something that I call using two way options.
You also could call it ambiguous phonetics.
They are words that can be interpreted in more ways than one. For example, the word mine has several different meanings. It could mean possession “that’s mine”.
It could be a place where we dig for precious metal, the boys went down in the gold mine and they found $1,000,000!
It could be something used in war to blow the legs off the enemy… “Jimmy stepped on a mine.”
The difference between someone creating more humor in their life, is really their ability to not just look at the logic of the idea… but look at the logic of the words.
My father used to use that to convince me to do chores and tasks. I call it the Lean In Factor.
He called it the lean in to chop your head off factor.
If he asked me to clean my room, my reply was always no! But if he used his ability to influence my thinking by looking not at the logic of the idea, but at the logic of the word… He had much better results.

For example, he walked up to me one day and he said
“You know Ray, I stuck up for you today.”
I leaned in with a smile on my face and I said “really?”
He could barely hide the little grin that he was about to have but he said yeah, your mother said “Your room wasn’t fit for a pig to live in…
But I said it was.”
when I heard that… My shoulders slumped and I knew he had gotten me and I walked off to go clean my room.
Using 2 way options, or phonetic ambiguities, AND focusing on the logic of the WORDS, vs. the logic of the ideas are great ways to start to create more laughter and influence when you speak.
