Did you hear the one about the funny quiz that was walking past a graveyard?

Question: My company publishes a monthly employee newsletter. My boss has asked me to write a funny quiz. I'm not exactly a stand-up comic. Help!

A. Ah, the funny quiz. Lucky you! It is not often that a company has an official sense of humor, that they are willing to read the display. This is a big job for you!

A fun quiz is a rule, if the questions and answers no real purpose other than for the quiz taker has to make people laugh. Although almost everything is possible,There are some taboo subjects. From the hand that I am everything that puts fun at what a particular person or group of people, and everything that the anti-Semitic, racist, sexual, political, religious, or ought to be eliminated said limits. Remember what a person thinks is funny may offend someone else. Even seemingly innocuous subjects like "hillbilly" or "redneck" jokes might not be funny, someone who lives in the mountains or in the deep south (like me).

You can imagine a fun quiz to see how a series ofMultiple-choice one-liners with punch lines. Because you are writing for a company publication you have a built-in "affinity group" as it is inevitably some common themes, associated companies and could be made into something funny.

For example, if you are a software development company, then perhaps you have a question that asks:

What is more: A CEO of a programmer week or week?

If you do not laugh then you've never been a programmer to tell you that the projectbe ready in a week.

You have to go on a narrow ridge, though with subjects like this in your funny quiz. Let's say your company 4 posted Quarter, only a loss because a new software product missed the start date a week a "programmer". It does not take a clairvoyant to see that you check off on a lot of people if you add this funny question quiz.

Try wornout jokes or cliches to avoid. A funny quiz should be funny, not lame. For example, still on theSoftware reasoning, a question such as ...

Q: How many programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? A. None. They do not hardware.

... is older than the secret that meat in Tupperware containers in the back of the canteen fridge. Nobody will laugh at that one. Nothing to laugh = not a fun quiz!

The best thing to do is keep an eye for humorous, fun things safe bag, and then write a funny quiz question. My advice is to start now and notto wait until an hour before the deadline. The only thing that is less funny than a lame quiz funny fun quiz is not at all!
