4. Make the punch line worth the time they spent listening. Craft a list of punch lines and try them out on friends, family, or a colleague. Professional comedians test and tweak their jokes for months before finalizing them and using them in a club.

5. Use the rule of three as a joke structure. For example: same, same, different, such as a T-shirt that says PARIS, TOKYO, FARGO. Or, expected, expected, unexpected: She was pretty . . . She was shapely . . . She was a man.

Professional comedians use the rule of three all the time. Chris Rock: There are only three things women need in life: water, food, and compliments. Jon Stewart: I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house. We had an enormous feast. Then I killed them all and took their land. George Carlin: One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
