Everyone has at least one story, and each of us is funny if we admit it. You have to admit you're the funniest person you've ever heard of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not funny in person. I mean I'm really not. I'm one of those people who always screw up anecdotes.
You just tell a good story where you're funny and it makes people laugh.
It's difficult to differentiate between a story that's humorous and clever and one that actually makes people laugh out loud.
I tell stories. Because I believe you can do things that joke tellers can't do, and that is, bring your audience along.
No one wants to read a story where I saw a cute puppy on the street and I petted it. I mean, that's not funny. I only write about the funny stuff.
I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.
I don't think I'm a funny person in general. I have had to learn comedy.
My mum said to me once years ago, which really spurred me on, 'You're the funniest person I know'. I loved that.
But if something funny happens, I can't resist. I have to tell the people.
I can't write a joke. I could never write. I do a lot of stories and I call them stories, but they're just comedy recitals on a given subject.
