Imagine this: You are out having drinks or dinner with a friend and you notice a table of Italian tourists nearby. You excuse yourself from your company and introduce yourself to the Italians. You are heard to be sputtering off beautifully excecuted Italian for a few minutes and when you are done, the whole table of Italians fall over with glee and laughter. Hang with me here.
There is an old adage that the one thing that translates through all languages is a smile.
I am about to share a very fun secret with you. This being said, it might be too much for you to handle. You might want to just click on to a different page or blog, because this is very funny, but also extremely powerful, and it might be a bit much to deal with if you are just casually browsing the web.
I won't be offended if you surf on to somewhere else. What I am about to share is way too intense for a lot of people.
However, if you are so inclined, then you are very much invited to share this with me. It's your choice, and as much as I would like you to stick around and read on, NObody is twisting your arm. Fair enough?
Still here? Cool. You will love this.
Remember how I said that the old adage says a smile translates all languages? Well think about if you amped it up a little.
Laughter.Laughter has no accent or dialect. When someone laughs in Cambodia, it sounds the same as someone laughing in London.
Laughter is infectuous...
Recent studies have shown that a good joke releases the same endorphins as a line of cocaine.
(That's true, and a good joke costs much less and is not illegal!)
Here is something wicked. Imagine you could share this power of laughter and smiling across the globe. Well, cool thing is that you can.
Here's a great little tip that will make you happy, make other people happy, and impress the socks off of whoever you are with. Are you ready for this?
Simply do this:
Learn one
really good joke. That's not difficult. You probably already have one. But here's the thing, learn one that is funny to any culture or nationality. That is a little more difficult, but you are online right now, so a few minutes on Google should garner you your ammunition.
Now learn that joke in as many different languages as you can.
Think about that. Anytime you hear a foreign language, you saunter up to the party at hand and deliver a hilarious barrage of lines that leaves them laughing hysterically.
Everyone around will be very impressed. The people you have just bamboozled with laughter will feel welcome in a strange land. And
you will feel like a superhero.
When choosing your joke, remember to keep it clean, devoid of cultural references and stay away from political humor.
I will leave it up to you to figure out what joke to use. I have many favorites of my own, and feel free to message me via this blog if you need one. I think it's a better idea to leave it up to
you because each of us tell different jokes better according to our personalities, timbre, cadence and style.
Also, when translating and learning your "weapon" in other languages, be careful of using free online translators. They often carry with them a good bit of suckage, and you would risk having your international subjects laughing at you before you got to the punchline.
Keep this powerful tool a secret, and amaze all of your friends and enemies.
And in whatever language you end up delivering your joke,
Tell 'em DT3 sentcha.
