Find Amusing Menu Items: Frog Porridge and another funny - green crap

Look for amusing menu items and write the record in your diary. 

I think I was funnier in the old days than I am now. I was seraching for the dates of a relative who left me some photos, and my web search turned up links to articles which I wrote on humour.


Humour

You get offered some strange things to eat in Asia.

1 Frog porridge. 

How do you make it stay in your cereal bowl?  

I look at the porridge. It's like one of those games you get on the internet. Do you spot the frog's eyes. Don't tell. Just shout 'eureka'.

2 The shop is selling 'green crap'.


I think they mean green crab.

Here is a green crab. Photo in Wikipedia under green crab, photo by Hans Hillewaert.

 

Grab a green crab and you might end up with green crap.

Why You Should Take Keeping Records of Humour Seriously

Image
  When I attended a stand-up comedy course run by Amused Moose in London, I discovered that to get a spot at a top free mic (microphone spot) at a to comedy club, you had to privide evidence that you had already peformed on 50 occasions (albeit for free) at open mic events at pubs and other places. How many had I done? How many have I done now? How many have you done? If you haven't done any yet, as soon as you do, start making a list.  You need it for all sorts of purposes. To list only a few: To show the tax man that although you have been working for six months all the events were unpaid. To prove to the 'bank of mum and dad' that it is worthwhile giving you free board and lodging or a rent allowance. To motivate yourself and cheer yourself up. To get a clear idea of how often you can perform and what you would earn if you were paid each time. When I was writing travel articles I found that I was producing one article a month. That sounds very little. I would spend one w...

Are you a big fan of this blog? Fan My prop? A big fan. Pun on a physical fan and a fan as supporter. i thought I would explain that in case any one of my two readers speaks Swahili or Vietnamese.

He flew on a 747 but he got as far as 74 and knew something had to be repeated. If you have children or grandchildren, their toys will provide great props. Look for anything very large, or very small, or animated, or that makes a soun...

How to look amusing - Clowns, drag, dress, hair, masks and more

Image
Clowns are classic comedy characters. Famous clowns include Grimaldi, In modern times, Danny La Rue. Along came pantomime characters in Xmas plays. Marilyn Monroe appeared with two characters in drag, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon,  in the movie, Some Like It Hot. Drag The classic way to be funny is for a man to dress up as a woman. You could also do the reverse. A woman with a fake moustache. Hats You could wear funny hats. A Xmas Santa hat in summer. Hair and Wigs A green wig. A red wig. A purple wig. More Subtle A bow tie in pink or red is not too outlandish but adds an air of light heartedness. Animals A cat or dog you are trying to control is bound to cause laughter if it decides to play with the microphone, hide your face, howl through your speech.
