Humor from the Heart

 

Told like a friend at a cocktail party:   Lively enough to be entertaining, but gentle enough to be useful. Interesting. Thought-provoking. Worthy of a good water-cooler discussion.

Bring another person with you to observe the relationship dynamic. And if you don't get any valid observations, you might just get a momentary behavior change, as your mean person 'pretend plays nice,' at least around others. - Ché Rippinger, Dating And Hand Grenades Author/Humorist Have a great way you made someone laugh, or a funny relationship story or question?
