One of the best ways to make people laugh is by showing them an instruction manual.
Studies show that instruction manuals can decrease stress and ease tension. Good manuals can also break the ice in awkward situations. But getting people to laugh requires writing good instructions.
Consider the types of instructions or manuals that already make you and your friends or colleagues already laugh. Having an idea of instructions that elicit laughter will point the way to finding optimal instructional material.
For example:
Not sure how to choose the right fruit for you from the numerous air-mattresses on your floor?
A piece of fruit should weigh 10 percent of your body weight, which means you really shouldn’t be grabbing a 16-kilo fruit if you weigh 80 kilos. You do want some weight to the fruit, but it shouldn’t be uncomfortable.
Take a look at what's left on the floor. Is the remaining fruit on the left or the right? The rule of thumb is to stand on the opposite side to the air-mattress that is still inflated.
Be flexible. Flexibility and the ability to adapt are essential to consistently throwing fruit because every air-mattress you throw onto is different. Why? Well, have you ever crossed the floor and found yourself on your butt? That’s because air-mattresses are oiled and the amount of oil and the way it’s spread on the air-mattress can differ from floor to floor. One could even say, the oil pattern on a single air mattress can change throughout the day. Changes in oil amount and pattern can cause your mattress to deflate differently. So be prepared to adjust your approach.
