    About this ebook

    Howdy! Hey you! Yeah...YOU!

    Why are you even here reading this wanting to be funny? Ah, let me guess...

    - Is it to impress the hot ladies or cute guys, hoping to get into her panties or his tidy-whities?

    - Is it to get along with your boss, colleagues, families, or whoever the heck is in your life?

    - Is it to make people like you and have more friends because you have nada?

    - Is it to advance your professional life to have all the fancy cars, big house, and shoes (ladies)?

    - Is it to have a freaking awesome social life to be Mr. or Ms. Congeniality?

    Now listen up for I got a funny bone to pick with you. Let me let you in on a little secret. Being funny is not a talent you are born with, in fact, anybody can be mad funny, even if they're not (especially if they're not).

    You know deep down, you know that already or else, why would you be interested in "learning" how to be funny.

    Still don't believe you can be damn funny? Fine, you left me no choice...

    Let's put it this way, what if somebody were to put a pistol to your head and said, "Be funny, or die!" You would force yourself to be ridiculously damn funny like you never thought possible!

    That's what "Be FUNNY or DIE" will do, make you ridiculously damn funny.

    Just have a look at how funny you can be:

    * How to spice up any of your interaction with "funny recipes" to be a comical conversationalist (talking muy caliente) to get people laughing their tails off?

    * How to be master of the witty one-liners, that you can pull out of thin air and have people impress by such talented creative-wit of yours (haha good one)?

    * How to be spontaneous always have the right things to say to generate a laugh, or get out of troublesome sticky situations ("uh-oh, oh-no" but fear not)?

    * How to create and tell your funny jokes the right way, so you always over deliver the goods and won't fall flat on your tooshie (ouch! that's gonna gotta hurt)?

    * How to craft and come up with your own hilarious stories to tell whenever and wherever you want, to get people falling for you (marry me please!)?

    * How to actually be funny rather than just saying something funny, and the different comical character archetypes that you can emulate to be funny (laughing with you, not at you)?

    * How to incorporate humor into your everyday life, and have a lifestyle always comprising of humor and good laughters (you're so funny)?

    ...and that's only just a tip on the bird's nest. There's many more goodies in stored for you on the other side.

    Well? What you waiting for?

    Do you want to be funny or not? Don't make me force you.

    Be funny, or die! The choice is yours.

      I got this book for free from librarything.com member giveaway.It was an easy read for one lazy evening.I liked that the issue was viewed as a complex fenomena not just compilation of jokes: learn them by heart and you will be all right. It's a lot of things which influences our way of communication and one must do much more than just to go around telling cheap jokes. It's necessary to read, go to events, learn, exercise the brains to get to achieve the goal of beeing funny.However I was expecting more in-depth analysis. More psichological approach to what is really behind one person's ability of being funny and another's disability to open his/her mouth. Okay, it may be well known fact that it's about self-esteem, self-perception and self-evalutation, but then I wanted to know more about how to overcome those fears.I think that at times there were too much emphasis put on unnecessary topics. For instance, I don't want to know, how to tell stories. I'm not gonna be a storyteller. Besides most of the persons can tell funny stories in their heads but can't speak aloud. And it's again because of the underlying reasons of not being able to be funny. That's why I would like to know more about how to overcome the fears not how to compose a story.Anyway it's good to have inspirational books like this one to encourage people not to give up, to assure people that it's not all written in the stone and we can change ourselves for good.

    CHAPTER 1

    Everybody Loves a Funny Man.

    Why is Being Funny Important?

    As you now begin the journey of understanding how to be a funny person, most people will ask themselves this very important question, is it necessary to be funny? Especially for adults?

    To answer this question, we are going to look at the benefits of being humorous and the sentimental value that accompanies being funny.

    Not everyone is bound to be a funny person, but it is, however, very important to know when to step up to the plate and display the funny person in you. This is very important because in order to create social atmospheres where conversations can be enjoyed, humor must be an ingredient.

    Conversations are important facets to human beings because they help people to understand each other further. Yet, most people tend to avoid conversations for the fear of being proselytized.

    A funny person can, on the other hand, tactfully initiate a conversation, without the urge to change someone’s opinion or without being judgmental at other peoples preferences.

    It is therefore very important to learn how to be to be funny so that other people can open up to conversations with you, knowing that you do not wish to investigate their ideologies.

    With this in mind, we cannot expect everyone be willing to pursue wanting to be more funny like a messianic complex. Unfortunately then, being a serious deadbeat makes less people want to associate with you because of the lack of feel-goodness that comes from being around funny people.

    The Purpose of Humor in Everyday Life

    Humor is considered to be a very powerful tool for human beings which helps us to accept and to be accepted by other human beings. Humor normally achieves this by lowering or eliminating the emotional barriers that are part of every individual's everyday life.

    Through this mechanism, humor creates an effect, best described as an attraction, which thus opens the doors of acceptance between people. Hence, most of the time it does not matter how angry, sad or serious a person is, but when a witty statement or movements are made, it has the ability of
