Laughter is the best medicine. And we love to publish your funny stories in all our books. Our books filled with nothing but funny stories are always bestsellers, so we are doing it again. This edition will be for publication in 2025 but we're already looking for those funny stories you tell again and again. The ones that make everyone laugh.
We are looking for stories about something that happened to you in your life - in your relationship with a partner or spouse, a parent or child, a family member or friend, at work or at home that made you and the people around you laugh out loud. Did you mean for it to be funny? Did the other person mean to make you laugh? Did a situation just get out of control? Did a misunderstanding turn into a comedy of errors? We can't wait to hear your true stories. We want them to be silly, outrageous and hilarious, and they absolutely must make us laugh!
Here are some suggested topics but we know you can think of many more:
A slip of the tongue - Oh no, I didn't mean to say that!
Mistaken identity
Obsessions and Compulsions
Work whoops
Pranks that worked - Gotcha!
Pranks that backfired - Yikes!
Annoying habits - if you don't stop doing that I'm going to scream!
Doggone funny
Getting catty
That was embarrassing
Happily ever laughter
Innocently inappropriate
What? I thought you said but you really said!
Senior moments
Wedding woes
Funeral foul-ups
Holiday hiccups and meltdowns
Kitchen/dinner party accidents
Sports catastrophes
Domestic turmoil
Dating disasters
Making fun of yourself
Crazy family fun and foibles: it's all relative
Moving-day mayhem
Laughing at inappropriate times
I can't believe I did that!
Travel turmoil
Zany vacations
