I just signed up for the bootcamp in Seattle this weekend and am trying to get some stories lined up. So far I have one true story under the "pre-selected by women" category (from when I dated a ballet dancer) but am having trouble coming up with others.
What's also interesting is that while I have multiple juicy topics listed in the Passions section (I've in fact done quite a few interesting things--making an activity into a good story, though, isn't easy), an attempt in the sensor of humor one, and at this point in my life finally really do have decent financial status, I'm drawing a blank on the other ones.
Moreover, I'd really like to make all of the stories funny as the funnest social interactions are those where everybody is laughing their ass off--and I often even get that going but I've never consciously thought about how, it just happens without my having any control over it.
So, should I maybe start in the other categories by just looking around for borrowed stories and keep digging deeper into memory and experience to find my own material? If so, where can I find good stories in the other categories?
Secondly, in order to make my own stories funny (I also have a lot of real funny experiences, but just can't think of them, dammit!), should I just adjust to taking literary license to whatever length is necessary?
Any advice on where to draw from for good real or borrowed stories would be most appreciated!

Do this joke about humor.

Do you know what the key to humor is?

(And before they can answer)

Timing!!!

Professional comedians practice in front of mirrors all the time. Body language is surprising a huge part of humor as is tone of voice.

Being funny is spontaneous and should seem effortless. But you also need to know when to tone it down and be cognizant of the crowd you are with. Any literate person can memorize and tell a story. If the bozo speaking the words is boring and dry (like so many of my college profs), it won't matter how funny the story could have been. Telling someone how you opened a can of beans can be funny if delivered right.

You don't want to be telling a story in a mixed crowd on how you lucky you were to double up on condoms because you were doing two thai hookers in the ass when one of the rubbers broke. Funny for guy only crowd. Not so much for women you're trying to make laugh.

Not my story by the way, it was my friends. And yes, it is true.

If you are totally clueless and need to practice, do so on your buddies girlfriends, sisters etc. Find out what is funny to them without the risk of looking like a jackass to girls you truly want to meet. And please, do not date your best friends sister or his girlfriends friend or sister etc. That is lazy, stupid and a sure way that when (not if) you break up, you are in for some pretty serious awkward moments. Don't eat where you shit and don't shit where you eat.
