Everyone likes to laugh. At least everyonesane. Actually, insane people laugh too, they just dont know theyre laughing.Even the Pope laughs, just not in public. Laughter unites people. It can diffuse tense situations. And most importantly, at least from a writers standpoint, it can keep people reading your articles.You dont have to be a comedian, or Dave Barry to incorporate laughs into your writing.You dont really have to be that funny of aperson, either. And youre not looking to putthe readers in stitches. Just a slight chuckle can make a world of difference.I often try to incorporate cheap puns intomy articles.

Hopefully,by now everyone has gotten the point. Humor makespeople laugh, and laughing makes people happy. Andhappy readers keep reading and will remember yourname the next time they see it at the top of an article.
