Summary: Business people can sometimes be funny if they try
Comment: Classier comedy writers like Gene Perret and Robert Orben have tried to help business people and public speakers over the past 20 years or more. If you make money with it, it is usually called "professional speaking," and there are a lot more speakers around than there are comedians. Also, the comedy in the clubs took on an angry tone, with more sex and toilet jokes than necessary. So, "OH, THAT'S WHAT YOU WRITE" could easily be surmised if people call themselves comedy writers...Business speakers can use help in being funny, and the second part of the book gives lists of jokes that may go over or may not, depending on the strength of your delivery. So, be sure to read the "Tips on Delivery" chapter. "Pitfalls of Humor" chapter makes some good points also. A comedian has more freedom to say what he pleases since if we like him, he is accepted as a buffoon from beginning to end. But in the more usual world of business, you basically have to have a serious message, which is interspersed with funny quips or stories. If you want to sell and make money, don't offend, be light. So Gene Perret has put together a useful guide for businessmen and speakers.
