Humor. In almost anything.

Sometimes I write and do stuff meant to be funny. But it’s taken seriously. That’s the funny part. It’s called a put-on. With tongue-in-cheek. I say it with straight-face. Friends generally know I’m kidding. But I pull the stunt. With strangers, too. That’s more a gamble. They eventually catch on. And know what to expect next time. I like to keep people guessing. Though I prefer to keep them laughing. My message. Life wasn’t always meant to be taken seriously. One can find humor. In almost anything. --Jim Broede
