Did you hear the one about… Tell a joke once in a while. One that makes you laugh out loud. Sometimes business can be stressful and overwhelming; even more so with this extended virus continuously throwing a wrench in our updated sales plans.

Have a thought, or story, or joke available that puts a smile on your customer’s face to keep things in perspective.

Here are several of my favorites:

  • Last week I went to a silent auction… I won a dog whistle and two mimes.
  • I saw an ad that said, “Radio for sale $2, volume stuck on full.” I thought to myself, “I can’t turn that down.”
  • Someone glued my deck of cards together. I don’t know how to deal with it.
  • What did the cowboy say to the artist? Draw.
  • “Doctor, I have problems with my eyesight.” “Yes, you do. This is a hot dog stand.”
  • What’s a shark’s favorite saying? “Man overboard!”
  • I’m such a good navigator, a self-driving car once asked me for directions.
  • What do you call a sheep who can sing and dance? Lady Ba Ba.
  • Why can’t dinosaurs clap their hands? Because they’re extinct.
  • Why didn’t the lifeguard save the hippie? He was too far out!
  • I tripped over my wife’s bra… It appeared to be a booby trap.
  • How many dance instructors does it take to change a lightbulb? Five … six … seven … eight!
  • ​For my birthday my children gave me an alarm clock that swore at me instead of buzzing. It was quite a rude awakening.
  • ​I remember as a kid my dad got fired from his job as a road worker for theft. I refused to believe he could do such a thing but when I got home, the signs were all there.
  • Two wind turbines stand in a field. One says to the other, “So, what kind of music are you into?” The other replies, “I’m a huge metal fan.”
  • Shout out to the people asking what the opposite of in is.
  • Why does the nurse carry red crayons? In case she has to draw blood.

Remember, use humor and Heat Up Your Sales!
