INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you don’t want your hilarious anecdotes to feel too staged, it’s a good idea to have a stock collection of amusing stories that you can reference in a pinch. Stick with general topics that are light and fun and try to avoid stories that are gross or intimate unless you know the girl well. Remember -- just because your friends think it’s hilarious doesn’t mean she will!  Think about some amusing stuff that’s happened to you in the past, like the time you wore your shirt inside out for school pictures. If you have a pet, you’ve probably got some hilarious pet stories to share! To keep things fresh, frequent a few funny websites like The Onion and draw from those when you need inspiration. One-liners are not the tools to reach for when you want to show off your sharp wit, but they can be great when you want to be silly. The cornier, the better! You can make them about her or go with something more general. Avoid awkward one-liners that are sexual in nature though. Contrary to popular belief, girls don’t find those very funny -- you might even make her uncomfortable. A few examples of fun one-liners you can try:  “Did you tie my shoelaces together? Because you got me trippin’ over you, girl!” “You have something beautiful on your face. Oh wait, that’s just you.” “A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing!” Think about stuff you do or say that cracks up your friends on a regular basis, especially your female friends. If you’re great at physical humor, go with that. If you're a master of mimicry and impersonations, give those a try. If sassy comebacks are your thing, try a few of those in her presence. Just make sure they’re lighthearted and not malicious! If you aren't sure what your strengths are, ask your friends. Don’t go off the deep end with self-deprecation, but targeting some silly things about yourself may crack her up. Draw from your personal experiences or learn to poke fun at yourself in the moment. For example, if you trip over something when you’re walking with her, you could say, “Well, there goes my dream of becoming a runway model!” This lightens the mood and also shows her that you’re laidback and comfortable with yourself.  Try not to rely on this tactic too heavily, since it can get awkward or just plain unfunny after a while. However, an occasional, well-placed joke at your own expense can be priceless. Expect your humor to fall flat on occasion. In these cases, use the bad joke to make another and get the conversation going again. This can be something as simple as, “Remember that time in history class when…” and then filling in the blank with a good anecdote. Or try to make a funny comment based on something she’s told you before – not only will she laugh, but she’ll probably be flattered that you remembered that detail. For example, if she told you she loves fashion, ask for her professional fashion advice and describe a terrible or ridiculous outfit you’re planning to wear to an upcoming event.

SUMMARY: Build up a repertoire of funny stories. Memorize some quality one-liners. Create your own style of humor by playing to your strengths. Learn to laugh at yourself. Make funny comments based on past conversations or situations with her.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Put 1 1⁄2 pounds (680 g) of broccoli florets on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the extra-virgin olive oil over the broccoli and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Use your hands or tongs to toss the broccoli with the seasonings. Ensure that the broccoli florets are in a single layer with a little space in between them. Air should be able to move between the florets so they caramelize on the edges. Open the oven door and put the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Cook the broccoli for 15 minutes so it starts to soften. Wear oven mitts to remove the baking sheet from the oven. Stir the broccoli with a flat spatula and put the sheet back in the oven. Stirring will ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly. Cook the broccoli until it's golden brown and tender when you poke it with a fork. If the broccoli is too firm for your liking, roast it for 3 to 5 more minutes and check it again. Pour 2 teaspoons (9.9 ml) of lemon juice into a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon (3 g) of minced shallot and the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and whisk the mixture until it's combined. Remove the sheet of roasted broccoli from the oven and transfer the florets to a large bowl. Pour the lemon seasoning over the florets in the bowl. Use a large spoon to stir the broccoli until it's coated. Add 2 tablespoons (10 g) of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and stir the broccoli to combine it. Serve the broccoli immediately. Put the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and mix the broccoli with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli on the sheet. Roast the broccoli for 15 minutes. Stir the broccoli. Roast the broccoli for 15 more minutes. Whisk the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, shallot, salt, and pepper. Place the roasted broccoli in a bowl. Toss the roasted broccoli with the seasoning mixture. Stir in the Parmesan and serve the broccoli.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is helpful to have some text and simply move your cursor, when you first create the indent. Highlight the paragraph that you would like to be formatted with a hanging indent. Scroll down and click the "Paragraph" option. In the 2007 version of MS Word, On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.  Click on the drop down box that says "Special."  The standard indent of 0.5 inches (1.27cm) will be used as default. Your paragraph should now have a hanging indent. You can set the hanging indent format before you type any text. This will tell your Word document to do it automatically. If you prefer that the hanging indent isn't present throughout the document, return and indent highlighted portions after you type the text.

SUMMARY:
Open your Microsoft Word document. Write your paragraph. Click the "Format" menu in the top horizontal toolbar. Choose the "Indents and Spacing" section of the Paragraph formatting box. Find the "Indentation" section. Choose "Hanging" from the list. Choose the size of the indent to the left of the list. Click "Ok" to save your changes.
