Queens of Comedy

Being a comedian and a professional speaker, I know a lot of funny women. Some of them get paid for their sense of humor, others use it as a tool to get through life. I just returned from a quarterly meeting of the NSA/Carolinas (www.nsacarolinas.org) where I had the joy of engaging in endless side-splitting conversations with some of North Carolina's funniest women. I place a high value on humor and the ability to stay on the funny side of life. So what makes these women the queens of comedy? I'm starting the list and a survey. Please let me know what you think is a trait funny women have in common.

1. They have the ability to laugh at themselves


2. They know what they can control and what they can't


3. They don't aim for perfection


4. They know that happiness is a choice


5. The find the funny in life instead of waiting for the funny to come to them


6. They aren't afraid of looking silly

WHAT DO YOU THINK FUNNY WOMEN HAVE IN COMMON? I'D LOVE TO KNOW. SEND ME YOUR ANSWERS.
