You can make humor and comedy by pairing off your jokes into:
- Phrases or sentences (e.g., "Figures don't lie, but all liars figure.")
- Words (e.g., "I love mankind. It's people I can't stand." plays off of the words "mankind" and "people")
- Numbers ("Don't be afraid of rewrites. The first draft of Charles Dickens book was called 'A Tale of Ten Cities." implying that with each draft Charles Dickens dropped off a city before he arrived at his book "A Tale of Two Cities")
In pairs,
Tim
