Word play 3

Fellow speaker,

Some word play humor and comedy methods:
  • Simple truth - use the literal meaning of  common phrase (e.g., Cheryl Vendetti, "I was trying to get back to my original weight:  seven pounds, three ounces.")
  • Take-off - state a common phrase and come to a realistic but unusual conclusion (Steve Landesman, "Honesty is the best policy - but insanity is a better defense.")
Playing,

Tim
