More Thoughts on "Being Funny" – Part 2
#7: If it’s dirty, it’s not Funny.
One of the great comedic principles I have been instilling in my 2 boys since they could talk is this: If it’s dirty, then it’s not truly funny.
Crude humor is the easy way out. Anybody can throw in a bodily function or swear word and get a laugh. I don’t call that humor, I call it cheating. If you want to be truly funny, find the common stuff of life that no one sees and learn to exploit it to a hilarious level. ( Like the fact that the back of a lot of Florida License Plates looks like a dinosaur monster from far away… It wasn’t til recently that I realized it was actually two oranges hanging over the top of the state of florida. I have lived in Florida almost 7 years… that’s funny.)
I have very little tolerance for “cheap humor.” It’s just too easy to be funny without all that.

my girls love potty humor (not anything dirty or foul), they got that from mary's dna – please pray for us. the t-word (toot) is used way to often in the turner household.
