Exactly my point, for humor to work there has to be an element of connection, teh truth of the story. But usually, as you say, he whole truth can be boring. Although there are a few stories out there that are hard to believe because they are so outrageous. Hmmm... this could be another post.... Thanks! Bill! Bill,

Great tips once again Dan, thanks. Is it fair to sum up by saying there should be an element of truth in our stories that will resonate with people? The WHOLE truth can be pretty damn boring sometimes! If honesty is the best policy, its a mystery to me why its not employedby politicians. Great tips once again Dan, thanks.
