Keith never got tired of the  McFlurry , no matter where he went in the state it tasted the same. Like a glass of milk he thought but never said out loud.

On being funny
When you try to write something funny are you trying to make other people laugh or are you laughing while writing it yourself? 

i think as a beginner you are better off trying the latter. Just write things that make you laugh while writing brainstorming them and writing them and don't even worry about whether anyone else will find it funny. 

You should check out the
