How to remember more elaborate jokes and improve both reading and conversational comprehension with practice.
"Wow you're college age word comprhende!", my math and music teacher would sing in the woods!
Even so my comprehesion was more laid back, I would watch The late show in months, and this was rewound VHS!
This reminded my of remembering jokes. We see in comic memory methods like the Memory book, where to remember I read the yellow pages of the phone book they say, all memory works by association! Although research finds simple comics light up your brain the most, life is often of higher levels of complex truth, like all the more elaborate sounds of math. You just remember by linking two things at a time by comic association, life's a celebration, should be easy right? We may say this type of "creative" way of remembering is like how they would see if just being creative "deduction" with no new information like Euclidean compares in the field to inductive creativity like science and generally science wins, creativity alone just can't match technical stuff usually if in dispute. We know of Newton and what comic of the 1700's. Science wins wars, is it a joke where the armys toss jokes and see if they detonate just right or left? But seriously folks, science stuff can be good for more than just creative ways to remember. For instance to remember more compelx jokes or anything more complex faster, the Memory Book method of comic yoks seemed to fail me, I thought I had goofed for years, then I realized the following method is best;
Say you want to remember this about sad songs;
Sadness;
You hear these sad songs on the radio. Though not so bad, e.g in one song about "These Days I Merely Get By" the troubadore says he bet 25 on his favorite horse the horse lost by a nose this isn't so sad if the horse didn't lose his maximum wage and labor. Then in the song the author's wife returns and says she's leaving and didn't say why, how could she return while she leaves, and she left bills on the shelf this is not so sad, 1000 dollar bills would cheer her up!
To remember this try acronyms! Of the words in bold TTB TF HLBAN ISS HDLW. AWRL, DSW HCS? SLB OTB WCHU are the "map" of what to remember and by going over and over these acronyms, start to finish first from the words to the letters then just the words by the letters your knowledge of the abstraction improves. This has the advantage over pun words for each of the words as recommended by other memory experts than me because it's much simpler. To find each of the words in a complex memo and find puns and then comics would take a much larger amount of brain power and you save so much on hats. Of course you can also take each acronym and make comics out of them for faster comprehension and deeper. For example in the above Your DoubT is BeTter is For HeaLth if a BeAN ISs, HD (high definition) when the LoW prices for beans are higher!
To remember better yet a good trick is to buy an old cheap handheld PDA (small word processor). Mine has just two bits of memory! This is better because it forces me not just to have a thousand memos I don't remember. With just two pages, I have to make all the words worth count. And once Ive gone over and edited each memo by the letters, ect they're in my memory and then I write them in my Comedy Machine (a a special volume with an index) click here for more! Thus they are in short term memory and then in longer term memory both. After exercise or before sleep it's great to sit and improve or memorize important comics to solve words sometimes said to improve, ect. I just tie the PDA around my shoulders with a brown twine (so goeswith) and store in my pocket. The reduced memory of the PDA has another use. If the machine crashes, at most I've just lost 10 jokes, easy to replace!
This method of acronyms or just the letters for words for longer jokes is good for remembering anything that has more words, and I believe it not only improves memory for jokes but also improves comprehension both for written and spoken words!
