The Serious Guide to Joke Writing: How To Say Something Funny About Anything pdfdrive com

Troubleshooting
Problem: I only see double-meanings of words after other people have pointed
them out.
Solution: The good news is that you are seeing them. When I get my class to do
the  redefinitions  exercise,  I  put  them  into  twos  and  ask  them  to  read  to  each
other  from  the  Family  Scrabble  Dictionary  slowly  and  out  loud.  I  tell  them  to
pause between each word and think about it. If there’s no-one to read to then find
a quiet room and say them out loud yourself. Spend time with each word. If all
else fails, look at the earlier examples and notice how the words break down.
