8.5 SUPPUMENTARY TIPS Humor and Wit Humor Most of us wouldnt risk an international relationship by trying out a little of our own home-brewed humor. This is a pity, because humor is the most effective social cement known to mankind. This isnt a question of learning English jokes off by heart and then trying them out. Its one of courage and social confidence. And there are numerous ways to ensure you dont fall foul of cultural misunderstandings in the process. You can, for instance, protect yourself afterwards with the phrase "Just kidding". Then, of course, theres always the strategy of selling your wit as made in Germany: “Thats German humor for you.” Say this with a quiet smile on your face and your listeners will think they are being given insider ac-cess to a culturally unique society. Another trick is to continue what you are saying afterwards with the disclaimer "But seriously". Remember there is enormous peer pressure on "getting" jokes, so leverage this for all its worth. So when they stare back blankly in response to your most hi-larious gag, look pityingly on them with the follow-up: "Dont get it?" Humor is, after all, one of your most strategic communication forms when it comes to conflict and bad news. Risking it in e-mails is a little trickier, and will require plenty of smiles and quotations marks. Running jokes and insider jokes also create cozy subcultures which neednt be lim-ited to monotingual speakers. So introduce others: "Thats just my senseof humor. Youll get used to it. " In other words, welcome to the club.
