In truth, there s really no concrete way to explain how to write humor. Some writers have a knack for it. Others cannot write it at all. Picture three naughty boy triplets called Snig, Snag, and Snug or an old wanderer named Oble Smott. Imagine a tiny gray squirrel named Thurlow Wadsworth McGee or a feisty midget who s name is Big Mann.
Human quirks are humorous.
My husband always eats his meat last. He won t touch it until everything else is gone from his plate. It drives me crazy, but it always makes me smile. And remember how long it took Meg Ryan to order her food in the movie When Harry Met Sally. That quirk was even funnier because it maddened her hero, Billy Crystal.
