Humor should come after you have said your thank-you’s.

There are more ways than one to make your listeners smile.

Include an amusing incidence you’ve experienced.

Don’t use jokes from emails as your classmates will probably have received the same email.

Do not announce jokes or make some one else the butt of them.

Comedy relies on correct timing and emphasizing, so practice, practice and practice.
