Laugh a Little!

Although you don't have a team of humor writers to work with, you do have colleagues, families and friends. So draft your humorous blog post or that joke you want to tell at the fall gala, and test it out tonight at dinner or tomorrow at your meeting.

Those numbers are going to be small, so if you want a broader yay (or nay), drip the joke or the humorous part of the post out via your organization's Facebook page. That feedback gives you an immediate sense of how your humor is going to generate laughs or fury.
