The reframe of practicing humor as "noticing what already got a laugh and asking what else is true" rather than inventing jokes cold is genuinely useful. The Home Depot bit is great as-is, but I love that he treats it like a song he can keep revising. The musician-to-meeting-room parallel makes the skill feel a lot less intimidating.

Exactly. Crafting humor doesn't have to start from scratch, it's about building from what's already there.
