Humor In Business and Blogging

I'm sure we can all agree that laughter is the best medicine.  Laughter releases Man Laughing.bmpendorphins into the body which produces a feeling of overall well-being.  And who doesn't want to feel good?

I've said here before that we should be able to laugh with our customers.  In your business blog, what better way is there to introduce the humourous side of you?  BL Ochman's advice (found via Business Blogwire) to business owners about blogging is:

"Everyone and her dog already has a blog. Make sure you have a good reason to start and sustain a blog. And make it fun. Make your customers smile. Laugh even. ... Hardly any bloggers have any sense of humor."

Amen, Maria, amen. I couldn't have said it better myself, although I once tried. The trend seems to be moving toward humor as a means to employee and customer satisfaction.

Sorry, Maria. I got so eager to write the previous comment, I forgot to fill in the personal info.

Not just blog humor, but try being funny in the board room. I think it is ingrained in the culture not to be funny, that it does not mix well. The message is that if you want to succeed, then you have to be serious.

So whose dog has blog?

I had a manager who didn't like it when we laughed and had fun at work. in retrospect I realize that she wasn't a very happy person to begin with. Perhaps that's why the morale of the team and sales were so low...

Thanks for your comments, everybody!

Was it Lincoln who said that good humor is the oxygen of the soul? Truer words were never spoken.
