2 wishbefore your whipping, but you cannot wish not to be whipped!. Johnny thought for a second then said: Please tie two pillows to my back before whipping.

The Joke

...The Joke The Joke is a short story of a man who’s having a lot of problems in his marriage. He’s feeling kind of like he is just a joke. Like there’s no one who really knows how hard it is to be him in that marriage. While his wife is making a telephone call, he’s thinking a lot about his role, about the presence, about how everything was good in the past but mostly the fact that he feels that it has always been him who had done a decent job in helping her - but never her helping him. He’s wife tells the person who she’s talking to that he will be picking him or her up regardless of him even being able to pick the person up. That’s how it seems to be in the whole story. Him thinking too much and his wife taking decisions on he’s behalf. A short essay about how men and woman communicate: Communication between men and women is very often too poor. The woman expects a lot of things of her man, and so do the man of the woman. But none of them cares enough to talk about things – woman often wrap things up and men normally say what they mean. Somehow that makes the whole difference. Sometimes men hurts woman by their direct way of saying things but often it’s the easiest way of saying whatever they mean. And more often men are irritated by woman’s wrapping up, because they never really say what they mean, they want the men to figure out some of it by themselves. This often results in problems between the two of them. Normally woman tends to make decisions on behalf...

Humor in Management

...effective, so to say. But there are some techniques and tips for turning your humor into managerial success. Not every type of humor can be appropriate. The “What” section of this study deals with a general background about humor. Questions like why we should use humor, whether we should use it at all, etc. will be answered in the “Why” section of this paper. And finally, the “How” section will explore some basic rules on how to use humor in the workplace appropriately. There will be some suggestions even for managers who lack a sense of humor. So, enjoy and remember the most important aspect of humor in the workplace: Your employees should laugh with you, not at you! WHAT Humor is a quintessentially social phenomenon, since every joke requires both a teller and an audience. A sense of humor is a different and positive perspective on events and things. It can be utilized as an instrument to develop an atmosphere that is conductive to motivation. Laughter itself has physical, emotional, and moral benefits. Humorous people tend to be more adaptive, more capable of handling stress, more intelligent and more analytical. They are also more open, articulate, and optimistic. A survey conducted among Fortune 500 Company executives revealed that a sense of humor is the third most important factor needed to succeed in business. A sense of humor is nothing more than a different perspective, a more positive spin on things. This study will examine how humor can be a strong managerial...

It’s about fifty degrees and we have not gotten snow in about two weeks. How far are you? About eighty words so far. Quite a few more for me to go. What do you think? Hm… I suppose that I can continue to listen to Eminem. Or is it Slim Shady? Only the shadow knows. Speaking of shadows, do you know if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make a sound? Yes it does, of course. I can also tell jokes. What do you call a lazy kangaroo?

The Decreasing of Politeness in East Java Deal with Gender and Age

...them jokes in a very impolite way, they usually insult one's physical. This is the problem of the politeness degradation and this problem is getting worse. It is ironic, so many entertainers become popular or much more popular because they do rude and impolite jokes and the targets of the entertainers are young people that later will become the model of the next young people. Many young people who are still labile or unstable and usually still do not know how to behave but they love to watch television very much become love at joking in this way very much because it has become one of the trends of young people in their daily. Nowadays, there are some television shows that have entertainers or hosts who are often and tend to joke in rude and impolite way. The ways they joke often make someone or a group offended. One of the most controversial cases was when a celebrity couple broke up because of jokes in a television show. The celebrity couple broke up is A&B and A’s partner is Z. “Aku sering ribut karena ketersinggungan saya di acara itu” (I used to get mad because I am offended at the show) said B, when she was interviewed by a reporter. She told A that she could not take it anymore and wanted to leave him. Simply, politeness is having or showing good manner. Politeness is an important part of social interaction, Leech suggests politeness maintain harmony while socially interacting with one another (Gricean Maxims and Politeness, 2006).

Argumentative Analysis

...Jack In “The Dark Psychology of Being a Good Comedian,” Olga Khazan discusses the relationship of darkness and light in humor. Throughout the article she reinforces the idea multiple times that a twist is needed in jokes. The arguments she offers to support her thesis that comedy requires just as much shadiness as it does enlightenment rely on her research, studies, and experiences. I will argue that Khazan’s argument succeeds because of the overflow of the compelling evidence she provided in support of her claim. Olga Khazan believes that majority of people find jokes with a little controversy in them to be funnier than those without it. In order for people to laugh at someone’s joke there needs to be some kind of wicked jerk. Peter McGraw believes the best jokes “take something awful and make it silly. Go purely light-hearted and you risk being toothless. Too edgy.. you’ll make people uncomfortable” (Khazan). With this McGraw is saying that it is okay to offend people to a certain degree with jokes. It should be part of the joke. But it should have an equal amount of “feel-good” to it. For example, when the attacks on September 11th happened the whole country stopped. People needed ways to cope. Comedy was nowhere to be found because no one wanted to offend anyone and they did not think anyone would appreciate any comedy. But The Onion thought differently and began to print articles joking about the terrorists. They were not sure how it would go but the issue was a smash...

Religion and the Media

...however, this is not necessarily the right view. In this essay, I am going to view both arguments and then conclude with my opinion and the argument that I agree with. In the media, there are a lot of programmes such as Family Guy, Citizen Khan, The Simpsons and Father Ted where there are jokes about religion. I feel that most of these jokes are funny however, I think that some of the jokes aren't funny and that they could offend some people of that religion. I think that this quote, 'Offending the minority to entertain the majority' explains what the media thinks. But is it right to do this? What if the 'minority' was the whole religion? How would we know? I don't agree with this quote. This is because we don't know how big the 'minority' is. It could only be a few people but it also could be the whole religion it was directed at. People take things in different ways. How would the media know how many people it was going to offend? There can be lots of damage done by stereotyping/ joking about a religion as it is a subject that many people feel strongly about. It is something people follow for their whole lives and something that they look up to. It is very offensive when someone makes a joke about it. This quote: 'There are no limits to comedy...there is nothing you cannot be funny about...' is similar as I feel the same way. I think that comedy is something that doesn't offend one person and something that entertains everybody. It isn't fair that some people should be offended...

...comedian than Steve Harvey because Tyler Perry does not use profanity and his style of comedy is acceptable to all ages.

Suddenly a light shined on the stage. Displayed was a big flashy sign with his signature in bright colors. The master of ceremonies ran out on the stage and yells “Ladies and gentlemen, put ya hands together and show ya love for Steveeeeee Harvaaaaaaay”. Harvey walked out on the stage and immediately began to start talking about some” crazy fool” who cut him off on the freeway, calling him names, and talking about his mother.

...awkward moment when activision realises their cow has run out of milk. Oh yes, all the time. I now regularly go out with a paper bag over my head, and I scream "DON'T LOOK AT ME!!" at strangers all the time. Such a terrible life, it is. Im a 21 year old girl, I joke around too much..so people think that Im immature because of this.. I have so much more to me but no one can see that because im always joking or too excited in social situations. Im so scared everyone is taking me for a joke, I dont want to be perceived that way, Ive been called names like 'monkey,dopey,blonde ect..someone today said to me that they would trust someone else with tickets because im not as grown up as them or as self-conserved..people my age seem so in control of their actions and words whereas I usually speak and act on impulse.

Spoken Language Study: Michael Mcintyre's Comedy Roadshow

...Spoken language study: Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow Michael McIntyre is a modern day stand-up comedian, with a wide fan base spreading through various age groups. He’s released three comedy DVDs - Live and Laughing, Hello Wembley and Showtime - as well as judging Britain’s Got Talent, appearing in various episodes of Live at The Apollo and hosting his own TV show on BBC One: Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow. In his comedy roadshow Michael is recognised for his use of comedic and relatable anecdotes. One such is his recalling of a visit to the Gym changing rooms, which is the piece that I will be studying. Within the first sentence of the piece, which is the declarative statement “have never towel dried my arse in my entire life”, McIntyre uses taboo language. By using the term “arse” the social distance between himself and the audience is removed. The story seems to become instantly more relatable to those listening as he appears to be on the same social standing as them, since taboo language is widely used in everyday life. Furthermore, the use of “arse” adds to the comedic value of the utterance, as is often the case with the use of taboo language within comedy. But dropping the pronoun “I” at the beginning of the sentence McIntyre also successfully creates a relaxed atmosphere that the audience feel comfortable in, as the utterance seems more colloquial and as a consequence more relatable. This friendly audience relationship is further created through McIntyre’s...
