Cracking Jokes Like a Comedian

By: Bavo Stevens

Like any good diplomat or politician, THIMUN delegates spend their time fighting amongst themselves on issues that need solutions. Debates can get fiery, and zealotry is not uncommon. Luckily for the hard working delegates, there are always many individuals with a good sense of humor. They cast aside the serious tone of the debates and decide to open their speeches with the funniest opening line that they can think of. The following are funny opening lines. Everything is PG rated.

• This resolution is like a donut, sweet but it has a large hole in the middle.

• This resolution is like a jelly donut; it tastes good and doesn't have any holes in it!

• This resolution is like a block of wood, it's strong and sturdy, but easily catches fire.

• This resolution is like my mobile phone, it may be old, but it has always worked well.

• This resolution is like tape, it's a quick fix, but no long term solution.

• This resolution is like a suspension bridge; it's safe and bridges gaps.

• This resolution is like a pineapple: it tastes good but it hurts when you sit on it.

But while this sense of levity does exist at THIMUN, humor at the conference is not limited to opening lines. Untapped sources of comedic talent will be discovered and people will learn to laugh to the situational irony they will find themselves in. Naturally, the seriousness of the debates will be up held, but THIMUN, prepare to laugh
