No one will argue that with the help of an anecdote you can become the soul of the company, prove yourself as a witty interlocutor, win over a girl or guy you like. Telling jokes correctly is a real art.
Instructions
Step 1
First, the narrator should remember that the anecdote must be told to the point and also maintain the overall theme of the conversation. A person must clearly understand which topics in a particular company can be joked about, and which are not desirable. For example, jokes about bosses will not be very appropriate in the presence of bosses.
Step 2
Secondly, before telling this or that anecdote, the narrator must make sure that he remembers it by heart, to the end, i.e. if possible, say a joke to yourself.
Step 3
You need to tell an anecdote easily and naturally, without hesitation, as if between times. In general, as if it is a simple story heard from someone. Only in this case, the manner of the storytelling will be natural.
Step 4
Some anecdotes contain not very decent words and expressions. But from such a story, as well as from a song, you cannot erase a word. We'll have to say everything. This is another reason to look around and make sure that the theme and the text of the anecdote are suitable for the gathered company.
Step 5
When telling an anecdote, it will not be superfluous to help yourself with your hands, feet, gestures and facial expressions. So the anecdote will gain more chances for its successful perception by the people around it.
Step 6
The narrator should also remember that the same anecdote, told twice, very rarely can make you laugh. You need to replenish your collection of jokes from time to time with new jokes.
Step 7
If the joke turned out to be incomprehensible or unfunny for others, you should not take a long pause and wait for a positive reaction from the interlocutors. In this situation, the most correct decision is to smoothly continue the conversation.
Step 8
And yet, the narrator of anecdotes must remember that explaining the meaning of a joke at the request of one or several listeners is a very boring and tedious task.
