When writing your next comedy story, poem, essay or eulogy, keep in mind these quotes that I found in the "Toastmaster's Treasure Chest"...
A man shows his character by what he laughs at --- German Proverb
I think Comedy writing is also a good indicator of what kind of person you are. So please take into consideration who it is you are laughing at.
Laughter: The sensation of feeling good all over, and showing it principally in one spot --- Josh Billings
You know he is right and the one spot to have it shown is right here in the Writing.Com Comedy Newsletter.
We like to hear people laugh, but not when we're chasing our hat down the street --- Author not listed
So write about chasing your Stories.Com baseball hat down the street and hopefully your reviewer won't say they laughed at you.
A pun is the lowest form of humor ~~~ when you don't think of it first --- Oscar Levant
My advice to beating your friends to the punnies, especially on Scroll... learn to type.
Lastly, and this tidbit will need no motherly advice from me...
No young man ever expects to grow up and be as dumb as his father --- Author not listed.
If you think you have what it takes to write humor, then you will want to check out this comedy inspired group held by my good friend melodyofmusic. I might even divulge a couple of my writing tips...

Shopping
In the aftermath of Thanksgiving we had the official start of the holiday shopping season. Valentines is going to be a very special time this year for lovers and those who have spouses. As an employee of the world’s largest retail store I suggest that you shop early; there is only so much to go around.
I know that items like chocolate and roses have a shelf life so you’ll need to find a freezer of your own. I actually wouldn’t suggest you using the icebox above the refrigerator that your significant other uses on a daily basis, try your friends, your in-laws or, well that probably wouldn’t be a good idea either, so I won’t mention the other choice.
And go to your local store prepared to have to take your items with some forceful approaches… I suggest “Wax on, Wax off”, “Paint the fence” and “Sand the floor” techniques and let Pat Morita and Ralph Machio live on in your Valentine’s shopping.
Also you might want to remember to keep track of your holiday expenditures. This way when the showers of April come they’ll bring May flowers and not tax collectors.

Some lovely comments left by my stalkers, er uhmmm fans...
MilkMan,
I loved the thought of seeing the herd dressed in costumes. You're toooo much! And that old lady in the Boop outfit--that was no old lady, that was my wife!

Bill I have sent a picture of your "Betty Boop" wife to the Tyra Banks show, maybe she can find her a professional make-over.
Loved this letter. I've lived in the south (Texas) for 9 years and have forgotten how different the holidays are celebrated in the north. I remember that NO ONE dressed up for Halloween pass the fifth grade up north. And here, EVERYONE celebrates EVERYTHING. One difference is that football not NASCAR is the biggest sports event in Texas. And to show how Texas-Southernized I have become, when you said "Monday night" I immediately thought football (not Halloween)... as I now think football at the mention of Friday, Saturday, Sunday... er, Tuesday, Wednesday... Thursday --I need to move again.
Trisha 
It definitely has been an experience living in the South.
Until next month this is The Milkman  saying, "Good laughs make good friends".
