Problem: Article: The target of your joke has to be funny to your audience, or you'll be facing a stone-faced crowd. Don't plan to target high school girls if you're trying to make a room full of them laugh. Tread carefully if you're targeting a political or celebrity figure in his or her hometown. A joke that would be hilarious to one group of people might cause another group to start throwing rotten vegetables. Telling a long story that takes more than a minute or two will likely bore your audience. Practice telling shorter jokes so you can get a sense for how to best deliver them before you move on to telling full-blown stories. Remember that the best jokes aren't always the smartest, most detailed jokes; you've got to hit people in the funny bone. Watch the people you're talking to. If you see their eyes start to wander, wrap up the joke. You can tell more than one joke in a row if the first one gets some laughs. Build on the energy you created. If you've got a big grin on your face when you're telling a joke, people will get distracted. Plus, smiling at your own joke sort of gives away the ending before you have a chance to get there. Instead, keep a straight face, make eye contact, and deliver the joke as if you were saying something as mundane as "I'm going to the store for a gallon of milk." Your delivery is as important to the humor of your joke as the content. After you deliver the setup of your joke, pause for a moment before giving the punch line. This gives people the chance to ponder and guess for a moment before you surprise them with your hilarious insight. Don't wait too long, though, or the energy of the joke will die.

Summary: Know your audience. Keep it simple and short. Master the deadpan expression. Get the timing down.

Problem: Article: Different ovens take different amounts of time to preheat, so make sure the oven is up to the right temperature before you insert the chicken for reheating. Because the chicken has already been cooked, you don't really need a roasting dish with deep sides, because there won't be juices running off the chicken. However, a roasting dish is still a good size for reheating a rotisserie chicken. Rub butter or oil on the surface of the dish, or spray it with nonstick cooking spray, to keep the chicken from sticking to it. Place the whole rotisserie chicken in the dish. Then, cover it with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the properly preheated oven, making sure it's in the center rack for even heat application. Depending on how large your chicken is, you might need a little more or less time, but it should take about 25 minutes for your chicken to reheat thoroughly. Begin checking the temperature a few minutes early, especially if your chicken is on the small side. Don't let the chicken overcook, as it gets tough and dryespecially the white meat. Remove the chicken from the oven, using oven mitts and trivets to protect your hands and the counter from the hot container. Let the chicken rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cutting into it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, keeping it moist when served.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 350F (177C). Put the chicken on a prepared roasting dish and cover it. Heat the chicken to 165F (74C). Serve the chicken after letting it rest for 5 minutes.
