For Our Info

My first thought upon reading the question, “Are you sharing humor?” was that this meant comedians or speakers. After giving some thought to the question I began to see that each one of us at sometime or other should share our humor. I remember a teacher I had in school, came to school one day with a brown shoe on one foot and a black shoe on the other. She had been in a hurry that morning and just grabbed a left shoe and a right shoe. They were the same style just different in color. She only lived a short distance from school but rather than go home and change she shared her fiasco with her students. She was always so perfect we just could not imagine her doing such a thing. I think after that day we looked at her as though she was almost human.

You had better believe we all had one bug laugh out of the shoe episode. Have you thought that you do not have to be the one speaking to share humor? Of course not. Just think about it, if someone is sharing a funny happening with you, what is your job? Laugh, of course. Now this should not have to be a fake laugh but a meaningful laugh. Laughing with, not at someone is sharing their humor.

Most of us have a friend or know someone that is known for his or her humor. They are fun to be around and we should always remember to share our laughter with them. Now that I have let you know that humor can be shared without being a public speaker, let’s look at how a speaker relates or should relate to his or her audience. They have a relationship that is acquired by mutual respect, trust and identifying with the audience. Humor needs to be prepared very carefully. When it fails to be amusing it can cause tension and discomfort. This should not happen if you are willing to follow a few guidelines. The first thing to be considered is the difference between healthy and unhealthy humor. As you know, unhealthy humor has a victim. It shows a malicious spirit. There might be a laugh for this humor but it would most likely be one of anxiety. The victim is usually made to look different, not be very intelligent or prejudice.

Looking to healthy humor you will find it is just the opposite. It shows support and acceptance in emphasizing the ways we are alike. This shows more understanding and empathy. The laughter here comes from recognizing that we are all in the same boat and no one is isolated or made feel different. In order to share humor, the speaker must have a good attitude. You must be willing to enjoy humor. It is important that you have a good relationship with the audience. This is sharing yourself personally so they will know the speaker. Trust should be established so the audience will not be afraid of anything you might share. A good insight or diagnose of the audience is a must as every joke or statement plays on a certain emotion.

A complete understanding about the environment of the audience will put the speaker on common ground with them. This requires a lot of homework. If you don’t know about them, stay away from particular people and places in your humor. Timing is essential. Timing of the punchline is important as well as giving the audience time to enjoy the punchline. The final important issue with timing you must know when to stop. Good humor goes a long way and it is much better to let them leave wanting more.

Have you ever watched children at play? If you have, you have seen them laugh heartily and it was easy for them to do. Studies show that adults are amused about 15 times in a day while kids laugh and estimated 300-400 times. If we were to visit a refuge camp we would probably have seen sad and hopeless expressions on the faces of even the young people. As the much-needed aid was passed out the children were the first to begin to laugh and play. Perhaps we older folk take ourselves too seriously.

Maybe we don’t need to laugh 400 times a day, but most of us could do better than we do. Most of us have seen young children delight and amuse themselves with the most ordinary things. Have you watched them take a gift out of a box and play with the box instead of the actual gift? The key to good laughter is having other people around us. We need to interact with people to bring out our best laughter. When they spoke on the phone they had plenty to laugh about and it showed in their telephone conversations.

When we are alone almost all of our social stimulation is removed, if we do not watch television, listen to the radio, go to the movies, and enjoy reading a good book, laughter almost totally disappears. Even when we are happy, we hardly ever laugh when we are alone. Young children are no exception; they show us by this study that all ages need to share laughter. Another laughter study was working with hundreds of children to determine what makes kids laugh. This study was used on children who were undergoing painful procedures or who were suffering from pain expectation anxiety.

They were divided into 2 groups and ask to hold their arms in cold water as long as they could. The effect of the laughter overshadowed the feeling of cold; isn’t the affect amazing? The positive outcome from this test was that laughter allows a person to “forget” about aches and pains and even see pain as less intense. There have been studies performed to measure the impact of the imagination on our ability to diminish the effects of pain. If we can imagine funny images, and visualize the resulting comedy, we are less likely to feel pain.

How many adults would or could use their imagination to cut down on pain. We can learn a lot from children. Have you watched young children playing in the yard or park? No matter what they are doing you are just about assured of giggles and laughs. It is just amazing to watch the happy little faces when you blow bubbles and they try to catch them. Who could keep from laughing while listening to them giggle and laugh? Then there is the swing set and the slide. This creates more laughter and just listening you would think it was the most fun they had ever had. Have you ever played the game, “which hand is the penny in” with little ones? If you have you have experienced all the little squeals or laughter when they picked the right hand.

It does not take money or expensive toys for a child to laugh and have fun. They can chase a butterfly and laugh dozens of times or they can pretend and laugh even more. By observing children or just being around them adults could learn the art of laughter. The age old saying “innocence of a child” lets them enjoy being young and carefree sharing their laughter with everyone and anyone who will spend their time with them. There is better than the laughter of a child. It will bring out the inner child in all of us if we would just let it.

There are many lessons to be learned from our children. When we see our children laughing and playing it is like they don’t have a care in the world. We really could learn a valuable lesson here. So, the next time your child wants you to play with them take a few minutes out of your busy day. You will gain so much. Whatever you were going to do, will still be there, remember our children grow up fast. Let’s enjoy them while we can.
