HUMOR TIP MARCH 2010

Dear Lola,

I’ve just finished reading your latest book HELP I’M MARRIED//SLEEPING WITH YOUR ENEMY, but I can’t get my husband to read it. I realize from just looking at the cartoons in your book that my husband does not really have a sense of humor. In our everyday life, I think I say some fairly funny things, but Bob never laughs. He just says, “Oh don’t be silly. This is serious.”

He’s a good man and a good husband. I love him and like him. He’s just not much fun.

Your book is fun. I bought it hoping it would give Bob some insight, but I can’t even get him to pick it up.

Please help me.

Dear Not Funny In Nashville,

Don’t feel bad. Even though husband Hank wrote his side of the book (SLEEPING WITH YOUR ENEMY) he did not really get interested until I asked him to color the cartoons. That turned him on.

So leave the book lying around the house with HIS SIDE up. I promise you Bob will take a peek when you’re not looking. As for his sense of humor…plan some fun things for you two to do together. Hank and I are taking bridge lessons right now and it’s a blast.

Not that bridge lessons is the answer for you two… but something is.

Figure out what tickles Bob’s fancy, and do more of that.

As for Bob’s lack of humor, sometimes laughter has to be learned. Watch Bob and see what he laughs at. Whatever that is, encourage it!

Do stay in touch.

Always love and forever laughter,

Lola
