- Phone a friend who makes you laugh.
- Tell someone about a funny thing that happened in your day.
- Learn a few jokes and share them with your friends.
- Buy a ‘joke a day’ desk calendar or put up funny cartoons.
- If you are short on jokes, search for ‘joke of the day’ or for humour websites on the internet.
- Play a practical joke (within reason) on your family members or friends.
- Read humorous greeting cards in the newsagent.
