Never thought of it that way...

Fellow speaker,

You can get humor in your speech by making an analogy that makes it clear how ridiculous the situation is. For example, "They expected me to overcome all the obstacles in my job but didn't give me any training or guidance on how to do it. That's like if you took a wilderness survival course and the first day they dropped you in the middle of the desert, and said, "Okay: now survive!" "

Analogizing,
