Market: Reader's Digest Humor

Have a short, funny story you think would be perfect for Reader's Digest? You know, something you've overheard, a joke that makes you laugh out loud or a work-related chuckle? Here are what they consider for their humor columns:

All in a Day's Work — Humorous happenings on the job
Humor in Uniform — Amusing stories about life in the armed forces
Laughter, the Best Medicine — Current jokes and one-liners
Life in These United States — Funny stories from everyday life
Quotable Quotes — Wit and wisdom from famous contemporary people


Keep it short, make 'em laugh and if you're chosen, payment ranges from $100-$300. Not bad for a few lines of funny.
