Adult's Birthday Party
Obstacle: Someone you love is a year older and isn't happy about it.
Goal: Whether he or she is turning 20 or 100, celebrate the occasion with some good-natured ribbing. Deep down, while you never hear anybody admit it, we all love jokes about getting older. After all, getting older is the objective.
Joke: A man brags to a friend about his new hearing aid. "It's the most expensive one I've ever had-it cost me $3,500!"
His friend asks, "What kind is it?"
The braggart says, "Half past four."
Kid's Birthday Party
Obstacle: An audience of ladies, gentlemen and children of all ages.
Goal: Telling a joke suitable for kidsand one that isn't so cute it makes adults ill.
Joke: A snail was slithering along the street one day when he was attacked by two turtles. Later, the cops asked, "Did you get a good look at the turtles who did this to you?"
"No, it all happened so fast."
Class Reunion
Obstacle: These people have seen you at your worst-braces, zits and gym class. You now have an opportunity to dispel old opinions.
Goal: Clever wordplay gags will mark you as an erudite person of the world and not the dolt who thought the name of the great Greek philosopher was PlayDoh.
Joke: What do you call it when two egotists butt heads?
