When Humour Can Help You Out

When Humour Can Help You Out

I decided to post something light-hearted.

Sometimes we are put into awkward situations with family and friends and are stuck to come up with the right thing to say. Often laughter will lighten the scenario. That's when phrases like these can come in handy:

When your friend complains about the weight loss program they are on:
I’m on a seafood diet. I see food, and then I eat it.

When one of your relatives asks when you’re going to have :
I am jealous of my parents. I’ll never have a as cool as theirs, one who is smart, has good looks, and knows all sorts of funny phrases.

When you’re told to get your butt off the couch
I am not lazy. just very relaxed.

When you see motivational posters in your office
Don’t you tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon.

When your friend acts overly ambitious
You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?

When he just can’t get over the breakup
If you can’t live without me, then why aren’t you dead yet?

When your family is concerned about your weight
I get enough exercise from pushing my luck.

Do you use laughter to get out of awkward situations?
Any scenarios or phrases you would like to share?

"A man that doesn't lie has got nothing to say!"

" She doesn't want to hear what I think.
She only wants to hear what she thinks,
but in a deeper voice."

Using more than all the road!

When a customer is nervous about the job I'm about to do:

Well this is my first day in this job, but don't worry, I watched a YouTube video so I'd know how to do it.

Following my advice may cause injury, insanity, financial loss, hemorrhoids, death and superpowers

That’s a good one and no doubt sure to break the ice.
Thanks for sharing.

Humour was a big thing in my family when I was growing up. There would always be a well-timed put-down to keep us in our place.

That's why I'm the well-rounded, emotionally strong, individual I am today.

Having a great sense of humour is always important in all facets of life.

Yes that’s certainly true.
It’s too bad that not everyone remembers that

Hmmm...as a Brit living in the States, I often have to explain my humor, its often a cultural thing, I make references to films that no one knows.

Yes, I can imagine there’s lots of confusion!
We Canadians get teased a lot too.
