A Way To Laugh Every Day Found In Funny Forwards

By Whinston Sparks

Have you ever found yourself laughing hysterically while at work after reading something funny someone sent to you? Have you ever been having a really terrible day, only to read the most hilarious funny forward you've ever seen? Funny forwards are a fact of life and they do a lot more than people think they do.

Funny email forwards come in a wide variety. They can be made up of pictures. Sometimes people take pictures of kittens, puppies or babies and put them together on a page, with a humorous or uplifting message for people to read. There might be a link to the page in the forward, or the page will be embedded into the email itself. Pictures can also be directly embedded in an email forward, because many programs allow a lot of customization to an individual email. Words can be in different fonts and colours and images can be placed in the right spots.

Photo manipulated images are often part of funny forwards. They are pictures that someone has taken and changed. Sometimes the changes are just the addition of words or things that make people laugh, that others have said.

There are many videos that are popular and always get a laugh. Sometimes when we get funny forwards, we find one of them linked or embedded in the letter. The crazy kid running around with a bat who finds a way to slam the toy home in Dad's groin. And everybody gets a laugh out of the 'interacial' pet videos! What about the most horrible karaoke possible? People caught singing in the shower, on the toilet. The infamous video of the little bulldog pushing himself along on the skateboard garners more than just a smile some days.

From crazy things kids say to wacky practical jokes people have played on others, funny forwards are ways to break up the rather bleak day at the office or to lighten a load off a heavy heart. Sometimes they turn into a way of contacting someone else. All of a sudden a forward lands in your inbox and you see a name you haven't seen for a very long time. That first contact has been made, again, and you can send back a happy 'lol' and start up a real conversation.

One thing that most people forget is how to respect a person's privacy when it comes to email. It isn't very hard to use the BCC or blind carbon copy option rather than the typical CC when we are sending out funny forwards. BCC is a very easy way to show people you are respectful of their privacy and their right to keep their email address to themselves. It makes your friends and family feel just a bit safer. And you still get to send them that laugh inducing funny forward!

Besides being things we can share with friends and family, forwards can also be shared with other purposes. What we see in the news or hear about talking at the water cooler or in the lunch room often makes great fodder for funny forwards. Politics, while something people think they should avoid talking about at the dinner table, can cause some real side splitting laugh sessions. Puzzles and brain teasers are also a delight, something else to make people giggle or chuckle and take their minds off hard days. And it's also true that some funny forwards are laughable while also giving a person something really heady or potent to think about.

A lot of people almost seem to need funny forwards. Getting one a day from a free website that allows people to sign up is nice. Some people open their email up as soon as they sit down to a computer. And it is a good feeling to start the day with, seeing something a friend or family member has sent to you and others they care about. Something that makes you feel warm inside, makes you giggle or laugh out loud. Just be careful and don't join the "Fired Because of Funny Forwards" club! - 29848
