Food in Your Teeth, Forgetting Someone's Name
Do a Funny Show on Awkward Moments in Everyday Life
You may cringe at the thought of those socially awkward moments when you forget someone's name or discover a hunk of food lodged in your teeth after leaving that crucial business meeting. Like most people, you probably dissolve into a flustered mass of self consciousness, unable to restore your composure and recover your self-esteem.
The best medicine for those times, says David Jacobson, is a healthy dose of humor. People are people no matter where you find them, says David, and it's easy to get past that embarrassment and remind everyone of their common humanity with the liberal application of laughter.
