other than the making a connection, telling funny stories is a great way. you could use some of mine: im at a party and my friend is my ride home. at around 1 am, we decide to leave, so i go to the kitchen to get the keys. all of a sudden, this guy we kinda know (we will call him mike) gets in our way and says " you, your leaving!". so i go" ya, we are, im just going to get the keys"
" no, your leaving" he says as he pushes me with his finger.
" YA, WE ARE"
"****ing right you are!"
by this time everyone in the room was looking at us, and a guy walks over and says to mike " dude, this is MY house, I got it"
so i turn back to mike and go " this isnt even your fu**ing house?!" and the whole room bursts out laughing
and this is another good one: we are at another party and the SAME guy as last time is defending the house because he wants to impress the girl whos house it is (say that because it will bring up impressing a girl, especialy if the girl your going for is the owner of the house of the party). so there are these guys who are hanging around who have GUNS with them (seriously, i saw them) and mike decides to impress the girl by showing balls and getting them to leave. so he grabbes a golf club, walks up to them and says " hey, i see you got your nines, ya, i got my nine iron, and i think you ought to leave." so one of these guys pulls his gun out of his pocket and mike breaks down, and starts to cry and beg for his life. so i went out there and draged his a*s back in. ( this story can be used to get a laugh and show that you have balls
in order to make these funny use hand gestures for both, on the first kind of look around and point ahead like someone is there when re-enacting the dialoge, and on the second empisise the 9mm and 9 iron part. theses are kind of risky though, ive used them and got alot of laughter some times and silence others
