Ever wonder how some people seem to be able to pull out crazy one liners that leave everyone rolling on the floor laughing so hard you wonder if they’re in a spasm? Or a brilliantly stunning response that leave everyone staring in awe and wondering if he had it all planned out from the beginning? Well, it so happens that i read this brilliant book (not the one i’m holding in the picture) on the secrets of all charismatic people and how they manage to entertain everyone they’re with, and here’s what they revealed to me..

The Little Notebook Of Knowledge

Okay, it may not look like one, but that’s what i would like to call the notebook i’m holding in the picture. It’s this little notebook i carry wherever i go (thus the small size) and take down every single witty or hilarious sentences/responses i hear. From clever little insults like, “I’ve had a wonderful evening my dear, but this wasn’t it” to witty hilarious advice i give people like “Hey team, when all else fails, we’ll just lower our standards”. Heh (:

It’s all these little notes that i read and re-read through out the day and get it etched into my memory, which allows me to pull it out when the situation presents itself and make a killing, so to speak. This definitely helps me with coming out with cool one liners or funny responses to the stuff life throws at me. It may not come about that often, but that’s what the empty pages of the book is for – to take down more and more witty stuff you hear day by day. (:

Comedies FTW

Here’s another little piece of advice – watch comedies, they have a person writing a script that cracks his brain for hours thinking of cool/funny responses for the various actors and to be honest, i get most of my quotes from there. Here are 2 examples i’ve collected just to show you what i mean (:

1)

-I examine another guy’s hair whom i think is really mean-

Guy : What are you doing?

Me : Huh.. i was just wondering how you comb your hair so the horns don’t show

2)

(On how to start a conversation)

Me : Hey i made tea.

Guy : I don’t want it.

Me : I didn’t make it for you.

Guy : Then why did you tell me?!

Me : Conversation starter.

Guy : That’s lousy.

Me : Well, we’re conversing, so.. check mate.

There you go, two little examples out of the hundreds i have in my little book of knowledge.

Go Get Started!

Yes, go get a notebook from your local store, i urge you to get a nice little compact one though as firstly, you want to be able to carry it around conveniently wherever you go, and secondly, it’s going to stick with you for life, so you’d want a nice looking notebook, not an eyesore notebook. (:

Godspeed on your quest to knocking people out with your witty one liners!

Cheers (:

Yours sincerely,
