Hey y'all,

I'm primarily doing this as a tool to improve my Professional Speaking career. It's one thing to be accidentally funny, and something else entirely to craft humor intentionally.

So this is an exercise in crafting humor. And I know its not funny yet. These are just set ups, not actual jokes.

Those were pretty funny! =)

I'm interested to see where you would take the massage therapy joke.

Facebook mafia is gold.

Really now you went there? Well guess what?! I went HERE!!!!!

IMHO, I think you are trying too hard to make jokes. You are a naturally funny guy and you can make people laugh easily by telling some of your stories of hijinx and misadventures. This video made it seem like you were trying too hard to make jokes, which then removes any comedy from them. But on the positive side, I think you can do very well doing a bit of standup comedy. I'd like to come see your first show.

Facebook...hmmm. Mafia? Nah. But what could be SO obnoxious on already-obnoxious and over-the-top Facebook that they would have to bump you off? Did you start some kind of activist group that was so stupid or highly offensive (anti-activist group), like the Short Bus races in the Special Olympics? (Sorry, but YES, I went there.

Okay, opinions:

So one of your friends needs an ailment or two, like narcolepsy AND tourette's, so that he falls asleep in the movie, but screams himself (and everyone in the theater) awake by yelling, "__________."

I want your hair! You can keep the jokes though. :D
