Be Funny on Purpose Instead of a Joke


Anybody else enjoy making fun of the drunk goofball making a spectacle of himself? I spent a lot of time in college shaking my head and laughing out loud at some of my peers in school who were just out of control. Don't get me wrong, they were really really funny. Unfortunately, they had no idea and often zero ability to control it. The truly sad part to me was always that most of these same people were incredibly entertaining all the time. They were quite often the engaging personalities with a quick wit who everybody wanted to be around as a general rule. Others were the socially inept types who were only funny when they were the object of ridicule because they could not "handle their alcohol".

You want to be the coolest person in the room at a party or bar? Then be the rare beacon of light who is stable and present in the moment. If you deliberately maintain your faculties and can carry on a conversation you are well ahead of the joke in the corner slurring every word. Be social and engaging because you have the ability to enjoy the company of your friends. Be funny on purpose instead of a likely YouTube spectacle. You will meet new and interesting people in this state and you stand a MUCH better chance of remembering it.
