I'm also better at sprinkling subtle humor in a piece and not so great at writing jokes. But it's a great exercise!

They're probably not the most original, or the most funny, but they are, at least, written by me.<br /><br /><br />How many writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />Three. One to do it and two to critique the work.<br /><br />How many mystery writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? <br />One, but he'll turn it very slowly to keep the reader in the dark, until a surprise twist at the end illuminates everything.<br /><br />How many romance writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />Two, but it better be a big bulb.<br /><br />How many science fiction writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />Five. One to do it, one to criticize the pedestrian technology, and the rest to speculate on the laws of a world that has no lightbulbs.<br /><br />How many fantasy writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />The Darkness can only be banished by the Chosen One.<br /><br />How many existentialist writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />The dying of the light is a metaphor for human existence. Why bother to fight it?<br /><br />How many horror writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />None; horror writers do it in the dark.<br /><br />How many literary writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?<br />Literary writers can't afford lightbulbs.<br /><br /><br />There you go. Hope it brought a smile, at least :) This is a topic of some interest to me. As I'm attempting to pursue being a writer in earnest, I think I seriously need to hone my humor skills. People love laughing, and if I want to make people happy with my works, learning to show them a world that makes them laugh would be a good way to do it.<br /><br />So, I'll consider this practice!
