I pick up on a lot of the humor in your writing style. Humor can be tough. As you're going, you probably notice how the humor just pops up out of nowhere, the thoughts are simply there, somehow, magic. That's something I can't force. I won't even try to force it. It just has to be there. The lard and southern accents joke for instance. Turned out to be too much of a one liner, not enough substance. Lard. Southern accent. Lawd. Kinda sounds like lord. A confusing situation and a misunderstanding. Someone said lard, someone heard lord. Can't really do much with that, but when the tiny little idea popped up inside my mind, it was hilarious, and within a split second I see the entire situation unfolding. Sounded better in my head. Would work better acted out. Raw writing form... not so funny. A joke one would have to hear, not read. I'd bomb pretty hard if I forced that one but I think you can see how it could be funny.
