How many parts of your book are based off of events/inside jokes from your life? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/satire-humor-parody/threads/43441 TheSlenderman I only have one. A girl decides to let a guy touch her boobs, so he pokes it and considers that "getting some action." Unfortunately, that happened in real life. What about you?

So maybe I did.

Also, an Abbott and Costello routine in real life - a friend and I were mutual friends with a Pakistani, Humayun, whom we called Hume - it was pronounced like "Whom." My friend comes down when we're in grad school then and enters my room,a nd asks "Who was on the phone?" I said "Hume," and he thought I was correcting his grammar, so he said "Whom was on the phone?" I said "right," and you can take it from there. :-) I made it a bit crazier in my NaNo, though. The crazy telemarketers are like a couple I've had who kept calling my business back after I said not to, but only 1-2 jokes that I have this guy use are ones I actually pulled ont hem, because I coudln't stop laughing long enough. At least i got them out on paper. (One I did tell one once was that I wasn't the business owner, i was his imginary friend -caller and I e both started laughing hard.) Those are all I've done, but in my other books I've also included 2-3 funny incidents from my own lifein each for characters to experience.
