INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Carrying excess weight causes your body to work harder, raising your body temperature and producing more sweat.  Skin folds caused by excess weight can harbor bacteria, so pay special attention to these areas when bathing. You sweat more when you consume these items, and as previously mentioned, sweat interacts with the bacteria on your skin to produce body odor.  Cutting back or eliminating these things from your diet will help you manage sweat volume, therefore keeping you smelling nice. While this tactic will not change your sweat volume, by protecting your clothing you'll be able to wear shirts and sweaters longer before they become smelly.  Shields are generally made from absorbent material that will keep sweat from clinging to your skin and becoming smelly.  You will also minimize the appearance of your sweat. A recent scientific study indicated that the "chemosignals," or body odor, of people in a happy mental state tended to induce a happy reaction in others exposed to their odor.  In other words, if you're a happy person, the message you send to others spreads that happiness — even your body scent smells happy!

SUMMARY: Maintain a healthy weight. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol. Use armpit shields to protect your clothing. Maintain a positive mental outlook.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your punchline is your laugh line. Though your audience may laugh throughout your joke, the punchline is the part of the joke that draws the biggest laugh. come up with several potential endings to your joke.  Think about what your point of view is. You want to have a unique perspective to your punchline that makes it funny.   It will take a while to develop a joke. Spend time thinking about what makes your joke funny in the set up. Your set up is when you make a comment on something you find humorous. Your punchline is when you add your personal twist on the topic. Take a look at Jerry Seinfeld’s joke about stain removal products: “Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.”  The set up is the first two sentences. Jerry explains what is funny about stain removal commercials. Here he takes a specific point of view and focus on one aspect, bloodstains. The punchline is the last sentence. Jerry ends the joke with a comment on how weird it is that stain removal products use getting bloodstains out of clothes as a selling point. Grab a notebook and a pen and write your set up at the top of your page. Then write down several punchlines for that joke. Try to have a different angle in each one.   Don’t censor yourself right now. Instead of thinking too hard on getting a perfect punchline down, free write the first things that come to you. Attempt to keep your punchlines related to your set up. Pick out certain words from your set up to include or build on in your punchlines. Using Jerry’s joke on detergents again, think about what kind of punchlines you might write from the set up. “Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem.” What could you write to end your joke that calls back to this set up? Maybe you write something like “Maybe your biggest problem is that you’re a serial killer.” Probably not as good as Jerry’s, but that’s why brainstorming and writing out several options helps you. Even though this punchline may not be as funny as the original, it still ties into the set up. It also takes the joke in a different direction than the audience may be expecting. Writing that perfect punchline requires that your set up serves as a story the listener can follow to your punchline.  After you’ve written down some punchlines, read over each one and make sure that your set up leads to your punchline. Cross off any punchlines that don’t tie back into your set up. However, if you have a punchline that you really like which does not exactly tie back into your set up, you can rewrite your set up to better serve your punchline. Jokes are fluid and the process for writing great jokes often involves making several edits. Though many comedians have developed styles of telling jokes which don’t always follow the strict set up to punchline structure, most jokes are relatively short. Your set up should be only a few sentences, in most cases around one or two. Your punchline should be the same length or shorter.  Take a look at a Jimmy Carr joke that is two sentences. The set up is one and the punchline is another. “It shouldn’t be called the “Make A Wish Foundation,” should it? It should really be called the “Make Another Wish—We Can’t Do Anything About THAT Foundation.”
Summary: Brainstorm ideas. Write out several punchlines. Make sure your punchline follows your set up. Keep your set up and punchline short.
