If you intend usinghumor in your talk to make people smile, you must know
how to identify sharedexperiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to
the audience andshould help to show them that you are one of them or that you
understand theirsituation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending
on whom youare addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a
groupof managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their
secretaries;alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to
comment ontheir disorganized bosses。
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention,of a story which
works well because the audience all shared the same view ofdoctors. A man arrives
in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. Hesees wonderful
accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so ne is very
peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line forlunch, the new arrival is
suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, whorushes to the head of the line,
grabs his food and stomps over to a table byhimself. “Who is that?” the new
arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that’s God,” came thereply, “but sometimes he
thinks he’s a doctor。”
If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will bein a position
to know the experiences and problems which are common to all ofyou and it’ll be
appropriate for you to make a passing remark about theinedible canteen food or
the chairman’s notorious badtaste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t
attempt to cut inwith humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging
remarks abouttheir canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you
stick toscapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system。
If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that itbecomes
more natural, include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarkswhich you
can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s thedelivery which causes
the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember thata raised eyebrow or an
unbelieving look may help to show that you are making alight-hearted remark。
Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist ona familiar
quote “If at first you don’t succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation.
Search for exaggeration andunderstatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few
words or sentences whichyou can turn about and inject with humor。
