LOS ANGELES, CA - The National Good Humor Association (NGHA) will be holding a symposium at The Veteran’s Memorial on Saturday, March 15, to help educate people on the negative societal impact of bad humor.
“Every day people perpetuate a false sense of humor when they recycle old jokes. What they fail to realize is the substantially detrimental effect it has upon friends, co-workers, and family members,” said NGHA founding member, Joel Stalin.
Stalin founded the group in 1972 after having a nervous breakdown; a result of seeing a photograph which someone had altered by drawing a moustache, devil beard and supernaturally large eyebrows.
“This has been going on for far too long. It wasn’t even funny when Marcel Duchamp did it, and let me tell you, he wasn’t even the first. Will people ever stop doodling ridiculous facial hair on people they don’t even know? I don’t think so. Will the world be a better place if we can stop just one person a day from doing this? Yes.”
NGHA believes that one’s sense of humor is dulled and cheapened through the repetitious and obligatory laughter which stale jokes necessitate. They feel that to succeed as a community, we need to rise above the witty banter of yesteryear, and drive onward into the next century.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
1:00PM - Introduction and outline of NGHA mission statement
2:00PM - Guest speaker Lloyd Darling - \"Drawing The Moustache Of Death On Your Soul\"
3:00PM - Lunch and brief question and answer session
4:30PM - Guest speaker Rich Little - \"The Damn Dryer Didn’t Eat Your Sock, And Other ‘Cosmic’ Occurrences That Are Not Funny\"
7:00PM - Joel Stalin - \"How To Successfully Avoid A Fruitcake Joke At An Otherwise Festive Holiday Occasion\"
8:00PM - Guest speaker Gallagher - \"At Least I Tried To Do Something Different. What The Hell Have You Done Lately?\"
8:05PM - Joel Stalin - \"Why Smashing Fruit Is A Bad Idea\"
10:00PM - Commencement ceremony and petition signing for the elimination of Blonde jokes
