My wife was barely able to help me get in the mini van; we were off to the Emergency Room. We have driven to Baltimore from Florida several times and those trips seem like quick jaunts compared to the 20-minute journey to the hospital.

When we arrived I looked so bad they quickly got me through triage and slapped a fancy and stylish backless number on me and hooked me up with an IV and bag of there best fluid. The only thing I could do to ease the pain was to pace.

They gave me a IV bag holder on wheels and let me go. I looked like Ozzy Osborne shuffling about and asking for drugs. If you knew me, you would know that no matter what the event or occasion I will crack a joke or two, or make light of a serious situation with a little humor, I was in so much pain, I couldn’t do it. The closest I came to funny was when I had a 10 second window of no pain and I thought how much I must resembled Ozzy and yelled “SHARON!”, and no one got it. That quick it was back to pain.

My wife really wanted to help ease the pain but there wasn’t much she could do.

My energy really got depleted because of the pain, I can totally understand the mean things that come out of the mouths of women in labor. I wanted to say to my wife, “Honey, I appreciate your concern but there really isn’t anything you can do.” Oddly enough it came out “You did this to me!! I’m pretty sure your mother had something to do with it too, and I want flippin’ drugs now!”

So I finally I got the drugs, or as they call them, “the good stuff”. Shortly after the relief kicked in I decided that Dilaudid would be a good name for a girl if we ever had one. I got a Cat Scan, a verification that it was indeed kidney stones and they sent me home to drink gallons of water and strain my urine. I had never had to do anything like that before but it reminded me of when I was a kid and we went to North Carolina on vacation and went mining for gemstones. Only this time it was without the dirt.

The shard passed about halfway through the next day. Later that same day I received a call from a friend who had told his Mom about my experience and she said, “Tell Greg to thank his wife for having their baby.” For the record I have thanked her, and then it occurred to me no one asked me if I wanted an Epidural.

Greg has been writing articles online and offline for over 7 years. His specialties include humor, parenting, and personal development check out his latest websites on My Little Pony Birthday Supplies, check out the ideas for a My Little Pony Birthday Cake ideas as well.

An animated take on the modern American family of today, the lead character of the show features Peter Griffin- a fat, lazy, unintuitive husband with an average job who goes more by the heart than his head. Presented in stark contrast is his wife Lois- the attractive, logically thinking wife representing the fantasy of all American males. They have two kids Chris and Meg who different two shades of teenage cravings and the talking dog Brian is the source of illuminating wisdom in the house full of madcap mishaps.

However, the star laurels of Family Guy rest on one and one person alone. Stewie Griffin plays an one year old homoerotic baby who dreams of world domination and plans to kill his mother. His dialogues are laced with layered intelligence and sarcastic humor at its pinnacle making him come in direct comparison to other legendary animated kids like Bart and Lisa from the Simpsons and Eric Cartman from the equally controversial South Park.

What sets the show apart is its approach to modern day life that dabbles in between scathing social commentary and unrelated pop culture gags culminating in a laugh riot parodying modern sensibilities. It night lack character depth like the Simpsons or the intellectual wit of South Park, but has a loyal fan following of its own making it the only TV show to come back after being canceled by FOX.

Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the show has often come under a line of fire for a number of issues. Peter Griffin has been labeled as a Homer Simpson clone by most Simpson loyalists while several have complained about the irrelevant nature of cut away pop culture shots without any context to the plot.

The biggest issue however lies in the Family Guy vs. Sarah Palin debate that takes the effect of such shows on modern society on a much deeper context. Sarah Palin, the former Governor of Alaska and 2008 vice presidential candidate took on the writers of Family Guy by calling them “heartless jerks” for their portrayal of a girl with Down Syndrome in one of the episodes.

The controversial episode shows Chris wooing a girl called Ellen with the syndrome who replies during a dinner date that her father is an accountant and her mother is the former governor of Alaska, a subtle jab towards Palin herself whose youngest son Trig has Downs Syndrome.

The Family Guy vs. Sarah Palin controversy sparked a huge debate on the portrayal of disability on television and the limit of the “offend everyone” principles such shows are aimed at. Seth MacFarlane commented saying he was proud of the character Ellen who was headstrong and dynamic despite the Syndrome and Andrea Fay Friedman, the women with Down syndrome who voiced the character said she did not find it an insult to have the disease unlike Palin who carried Trig around for sympathy and votes.

Palin and her daughter Bristol launched a verbal tirade against the show making it one of the biggest television controversies in the history of Family Guy and American sitcoms.

I know that lots of little kids think farts and bathroom jokes are funny, but I thought I got over bathroom humor when I was a teenager. I was going to a wedding, I had just had a baby, and my husband and I had to drive several hours to get there. It was a challenge with a newborn, plus none of my clothes fit me. After shopping for hours, I finally found a springy green outfit I thought was perfect. I was pretty exhausted, but my baby girl with several outfits to spare, my husband, my new green suit, and I finally arrived. I thought I would change her diaper just before the service and held the baby on a blanket on the trunk of the car to change her diaper.

She pooped-not an ordinary poop-an explosive out of this world poop, I’ve never seen anything like it! I was covered in poop from my knees to my face. And what did I do, I didn’t scream or get angry, I laughed. I couldn’t stop laughing. I missed the wedding, I threw my new green suit away. I went to the formal reception in an orange tee shirt and cut off jeans while my pristine baby girl stole the limelight in her perfect white dress. Getting sprayed in poop, missing an important wedding, wasted hours and money, pretty awful, but also pretty hysterical.

I looked up a list of oxymorons, which are defined as contradictory terms put together. Some of the funniest ones are birthed through hard experience. How about friendly weapons, airline food, legally drunk, or my favorite, Microsoft Works?

Kids are always screaming, “It’s not funny!” as siblings or other kids laugh at their ludicrous situations. Sometimes even as an adult I have to restrain a chuckle at the humor, when I see a youngster slip on their rear, or end up covered in goo. Watching America’s Funniest Home Videos you have to laugh, but “Ouch!” often pops out in the same breath. Why is getting kicked in the crotch so incredibly painful and yet funny at the same time?

I think the intention in the humor has a lot to do with it. When people are purposely mean, or make fun of others, it may be funny but it’s not fun. Being a brunette I love blond jokes. Have you heard the one about the blond who got fired from the pharmacy? She didn’t put any labels on the bottles because they wouldn’t fit in the typewriter! But yeah, I know blond jokes are always short because that is all brunettes can remember. Being willing to laugh at yourself, and trying not to hurt others, goes a long way to making difficult situations bearable, and often humorous.

We have all wanted to be funny in our lives- whether it was to get us invited to frat parties, score with the beautiful cheerleaders or even claw our way off the popularity charts. Let’s face it, people like funny guys! Is it really that much of a surprise that Jay Leno is more of a national icon than the president and college humor gets a higher search ranking as compared to the recession crisis?(To be honest, jokes about Megan Fox is more valued than liquidity shares anyday!)

What is it in the current generation of humor that makes it such a rage all over? For starters, it’s come a long way from the classic jokes (Cow Who? No Cow Moo knock knock ones) to a more scathingly funny satire of social events and issues.

Why use humour?

Humour is not comedy. Humour has a point other than pure entertainment. Professional speakers use humour to attract and retain audience interest so they can put their point across. It’s been said that laughter is the best medicine. It provides relief from pain and act as a temporary escape or release from suffering and reality. Hence people naturally welcome the right dosage of humour in the right setting. Speakers use it to diffuse tension. Humour can help you make a point and even gracefully redirect attention away from a potentially embarrassing question.

When to use humour?

Humour can be used at the beginning of a presentation to build rapport, to energise your audience and as segue to the main body of your presentation. It can be weaved into your main speech body to illustrate key points, reinforce messages and interact with the audience. It can be used at the end of a presentation to make your message memorable.

I am not funny, can I use humour?

When people think of humour, they normally think of jokes. Many people think they are not funny enough to tell jokes and hence do not use humour. This is a common misconception. Humour can exist in different forms.

Showing a cartoon is a form of humour. Showing a funny video clip from YouTube is a form of humour. The most traditional way people associate humour with is jokes. So let’s examine jokes.

Anatomy of a joke

A joke has three key parts: Set up, Pause and Punch line. The set up is the background information that leads the listeners to an unexpected pathway. The pause is an important delivery technique just before the punch line. The pause is important as it signals to the audience you have something important to say. It builds up tension through anticipation.

The punch line is the word, phrase or sentence that creates the humour. It is the payoff to the story which releases the tension. To be funny, it needs to be unexpected. You can imagine a line going from left to right and then suddenly turning off sharply at an angle. The sharper the angle, the greater the derailment, the funnier the joke will be.

Styles of jokes

I broadly classify jokes into two styles: formula and story

Formula style:

There are various types: one-liners, word play (contradictions, dual meanings, puns), definitions, irreverence, switching, fool’s query and twisted proverbs, just to name a few. Let’s take a look at two examples.

One-liners

“It’s been said that before marriage, a man is incomplete. But after marriage, he’s finished.”

One-liners are easy to use and incorporate into your presentation. You do not even need to be original. The key is to make it specific and relevant to your topic and audience, as with all humour.

Word play-contradictions

“When I do right, no one remembers. When I do wrong, no one forgets”

Here the word play is on opposites and playing off contrasting states and emotions. Think of a Miss Universe pageant to appreciate the meaning of contradiction. The contestant who smiles is the one who lost (you got to look graceful even though you are just the first runner-up), while the contestant who cries is the winner (shedding tears of joy).

Word play-dual meanings

Think of the subprime borrower who was so grateful to his banker for granting him a loan which he would not otherwise have gotten, by saying this with tears rolling down his cheeks: “Thank you so much for your generosity. I don’t know how I am ever going to repay you.” The second sentence is a common expression of gratitude, which in this case turned out to be actually true. His non-payment had lent to the roots of the subprime crisis as we know it.

Formula style humour is easy to use, as you can follow the formula and use its structure like a template. Just fill in your own contents to customise it for your target audience.

Story style:

This is a longer form of jokes. It takes a more elaborate set up with richer details, the pause and final punch line. For example: “Famous playwright George Bernard Shaw once met a beautiful lady at a party. After a few drinks too many, the lady who was not exactly very high on the IQ department, went up to him and proposed marriage. She said to him how wonderful it would be when they have children, as they would have her looks, and his brains. George Bernard Shaw, the more sober of the two, declined. He said, “No, no. Can you imagine what would happen if our children have my looks and your brains instead?”

Notice the long elaborate set up before the punch line, which classifies it as a story. To pull this off well, you need to have better delivery skills as compared to the formula style, which is easily told with a straight face.

Delivery

For the story style, delivery is important. There is more important emphasis on the areas of facial expressions, gestures and body language. Greater exaggeration of body language and variations in tonality are pre-requisites for a good, funny story as you need to maintain the audience attention as you unfold the story.

Do’s of humour

Do make it relevant to your topic. There must be a purpose in telling your joke. Better still, use it to illustrate or explain a point to make it memorable.

Self-deprecating humour (making fun of yourself) is useful if you are already an acknowledged expert or highly successful. It shows the human side of you. For example, at the Stanford University’s commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, started off by saying that he did not graduate from college, and that his presence that day “was the closest he ever came to graduation.” However, if you are just starting to establish yourself as an authority, you may want to skip this. There are many ways to skin a cat and this is just one of them.

Don’ts of humour—Three rules

Rule 1: Do not tell people you are going to tell them a joke. Jokes work on the element of derailment and surprise. You will kill the joke if you pre-empt the audience. The safest way: tell them you are going to tell them a story, if you must. Not a joke. Of course, the better way is to just launch straight into your story.

Rule 2: Don’t tell jokes on sex, politics and religion to a business audience. Keep them for the night out with the guys at the pub. Some jokes have class, others are crass. Use your common sense. If in doubt, leave it out. Be safe, not sorry.

Rule 3: Don’t make the audience the target of your jokes. If you want to joke about how bad woman drivers can be to a mainly female audience, be really careful, unless of course you are one of them. Don’t talk about how your elderly audience belongs to the “Infirmation” Age in this Information Age, unless you are one of them, which qualifies as self deprecating

humour.

Sources of humour

People often asked where I got my inspiration from. The internet, of course, is a vast resource for jokes, cartoons and funny videos. Better still, your life and the world around you are full of examples for humour. They are the best form of humour as you can personalise your story since you have experienced it yourself, which makes it easy to tell. I once went to a convention centre and saw a “Baby Changing Station” signboard with the photograph of a baby on a door. Something triggered my mind and I turn to my wife and said, “How nice it would be if they also have a “Wife Changing Station.” It was truly hilarious for me at the moment, but you can probably tell my wife did not take too kindly to that. Remember Rule 3.

What if my joke bombed?

Don’t Panic. As long as your story (tell a story, not a joke, remember?) is relevant to your point, it is fine. A joke is simply a funny story. If the audience did not laugh, they must have considered it a serious story. So just continue with your presentation, seriously. Telling jokes with a straight face is good insurance. It may take practice though to not laugh at your own jokes.

Don’t Repeat. Don’t retell the joke so that the audience gets it. Just move on. Nobody looks forward to having reheated dinners the day after the party.

Don’t Explain. A dissected frog is no fun to look at, and so is a dissected joke not funny to listen to. Don’t bother with either.

Conclusion

As with all skills, the more you practise correctly, the better you become. The jokes may be free, but to tell them well is a priceless skill worthy of your time to master.

I could then see the charismatic, always looking for the next sucker, Dr. Facilier shift his jacket (yes his purple vest is still too short) and reply in his deep, transfixing tone, “The appearance of magic involves the use of words (such as spells or charms), images (like the tarot), symbolic numbers, etc. that possess power to those it’s being relayed to. These ceremonial actions are accessed by a voodoo artist, witch doctor, magician or other partner in crime like myself.” He then smoothly shifts his neck to the side, looks at the ladies in the front row and smiles casting a deep spell they have no idea their receiving. He goes on to say, “These spells or charms draw power from the supernatural “go-betweens,” if you will, to achieve magic.

For instance, in my song from the movie “Friends on the Other Side,” I say…

“I can read your future; I can change it ’round some to;

I look deep into your heart and soul; make your wildest dreams come true;

I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain’t even tried, and I’ve got friends on the other side…” The audience then repeats, “He’s got friends on the other side” like they were zombies.

“My spells all have a magical objective in mind, to set free paranormal power or in yawls case, set my friends free on the other side! You’ll get what you wanted, but you’ll lose what you had.” He then lets out this loud, mystical “Moo-wha-ha-ha-ha” laugh that seems to silence the room. The audience looks creeped out, but unexplainably intrigued at the same time. James Lipton looks the same. He’s seen folks crazier than Dr. Facilier, so he’s pretty much un-phased – just looking through his cards for the next question.

Is this all a wee bit scary? You bet. Especially considering this is just my imagination, once again, running away with me. I then float back to reality. “Mommy, can I have some juice” says my 3 year old. It was nice while it lasted.

I guess I liked the Princess and the Frog movie a tad much. Have you seen it? It’s a must see especially with little girls (surprisingly teens too). I and my family loved the movie and no doubt you and yours will too. Just try not to get too caught up like me – we don’t need to conjure any more “friends on the other side.”

Just another Princess and the Frog Fan. If you’re looking for more information about this wonderful family movie, you’ll find movie updates and more to start your own journey. Learn more about Disney’s Princess and the Frog – the classic tale with a new twist. Find it here today!

Just think about it. President Obama is the new Cary Grant. He’s cool, calm, collected, smart, funny, handsome, eloquent and well-spoken. I wrote this on September 12 and yesterday Stephen Colbert called him “the Meryl Streep of presidents.” So that means he can nail things in one take.

The similarities with Cary Grant don’t end there. Cary Grant was the ultimate in sexy sophistication. He dressed great, was athletic, and had a great smile. He defined “Metro sexual” (before that term was invented) with his impeccable grooming and charm. On the silver screen, Cary Grant moved gracefully and knew his audience. He made everything look easy and natural.

He was the perfect man – onscreen. You wanted to watch him and hear that great voice – words just melted on his tongue. Both women and men loved Cary Grant, and according to a 2008 poll, people still consider Cary Grant (who died in 1986) to be the most popular actor of all time. He moved across all socio-economic, political and cultural lines – everyone loved him – men, women, minorities, young, old, rich and poor. Barack Obama is the first person to even come close as far as politicians are concerns. And, actors – forget it – even though I love George Clooney – he is no Cary Grant!

Cary Grant’s career was a testament to Old Hollywood; he knew what he was good at. He did comedy, drama, satire and Alfred Hitchcock movies! President Obama inhabits all of those roles today and not always by choice. He also knows what he is good at and never strays from his convictions.

I have seen most, if not all of Cary Grant’s movies. For those of you who share my Cary Grant obsession stay with me here. Can you imagine President Obama playing these Cary Grant characters: The bachelor in the “Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer,” a guy who is accused of doing something he didn’t do and has to do penance by “chaperoning” a 17-year-old Shirley Temple who is infatuated with him. All the while seeming puzzled and finally morphing in to a good sport, goofing it up and winning the affection of Temple’s big sister who is a very smart, accomplished lawyer/judge – played superbly by Myrna Loy.

President Obama could easily be Mr. Blandings, in “Mr. Blandings Building His Dream House.” Cary Grant played that role with a dry wit that was his trademark, verbally sparring with his on-screen wife, (again) Myrna Loy. The catastrophe of the home building, and the hilarity that ensued! That movie has one of the greatest comedic moments in film history when Myrna Loy has her “infamous chat with the painters” on the paint colors she wants for each room. I can just see Michele Obama talking to the painters in the White House. The Blandings’ even had two very smart little girls.

Grant embodied the international jewel thief in “To Catch a Thief;” slinking from house to house over the rooftops, living la viva loca in the South of France and romancing Grace Kelly. Grant’s character never gave too much of himself away and was perfectly happy with who he was. There’s even a beach scene – provocative at the time with Grant in a swim suit. Hawaii first-family vacation anyone?

How about the Hitchcock thriller, North by Northwest? Just think about that one, President Obama would be perfect as the man who is caught up in espionage because he is mistaken for a spy. He is chased around the country by mysterious characters, all the while meeting up with beautiful women and going to lavish parties while keeping his feet firmly planted on the ground and outfoxing the bad guys, not being duped by the beautiful woman, sticking to his story and eventually proving his innocence.

While Cary Grant’s personal life was fraught with strange behavior and failed marriages which he doesn’t share with our President, their childhoods were similar in other ways. They are both self-made men. Cary Grant was born Archibald Cox, dirt poor and joined the circus when he was 13-years-old and became an acrobat. Grant had an absentee father who eventually abandoned his family, just like Barack Obama. He was so poor he went to work as a small child to help feed his mother. Barack Obama was raised by his mother and obviously had a much better childhood, he didn’t run from his past, but he did struggle with his mixed-race identity and eventually came to terms with it. I don’t think Cary Grant did that until much later in life. But he did eventually get comfortable in his own skin and came to terms with who he was.

So there you have it. Archibald Leach became Cary Grant – Barry Obama became President Barack Obama. They both own and embody their final monikers perfectly.

If jigging interests and challenges you, then you can look at the Shimano jigging system that provides productive experience. Jigging is simply a method of fishing with the use of jigs. The jig is a bait-like item that lures the fish. It must be placed deep down into the water using up and down motion until it reaches the depth where the target fish is located. The fact that jigs are designed for deep waters, it is intended to catch bigger fishes. In which case, the other equipment should also match the jigs used. The rod should have the flexibility to catch bigger fish, and the reel should have the power to carry the weight of the fish.

Two Systems of Shimano Jigging System

The jigging system by Shimano has two types. One is the Butterfly Shimano Jigging system and the other one is the Lucanus Shimano Jigging System. These two Shimano jigging systems are different as they target different types of fishes. Below are the descriptions and the features of the two.

• Butterfly Shimano Jigging System. This system has been proven to be effective in catching finicky and stubborn fish. This is because it comprises a 3D jig that attracts fishes of various sea depths. In fact, this Shimano jigging system was established to lure the Blue Fin tuna, which is actually found at depths reaching 500 feet. Aside from the 3D jig, the system also consists of Shimano Trevala rod and a choice of Shimano Torsa, Stella, or Trinidad reels. All these are high-powered and high-speed reels that capture the target fishes. With all of these, anglers can ensure to get Shimano jigging experience that is fulfilling and fun.

• Lucanus Shimano Jigging System. Whereas the Butterfly Jigging System is for deep jigging, the Lucanus Jigging system is for bottom jigging. Butterfly jigs are designed for a faster up and down movement until it reaches the desired depth. The Lucanus jigs are designed for slower movement until it reaches near the bottom to catch bottom-dwelling species. The Lucanus jigs are made of rubber and were intentionally used to catch red snapper. It has a scarab-squid design that can settle in the bottom with the just a slow movement. What’s more, it can attract bottom fishes. Apart form the jig, the Lucanus Jigging system includes a Tescata rod and the Shimano Calcutta CTE reel for a combined effort.

Both the Butterfly Jigging System and Lucanus Jigging System provide a fishing experience that gets you fulfilled at the end. They are basically a combination of Shimano jigging products rolled into two systems that target particular jigging conditions.

The Shimano Butterfly and Lucanus Jigging Systems are all supplied by Sea Isle Tackle. It is an online store that provides a one-stop shop for all tackle needs.
