I know that two and two make four -- and should be glad to prove it too if I could -- though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.”
Lord Byron
What makes one person experience something as humorous may have no such effect on another person. Humor apparently is as personal as our taste in food, romantic attractions and anything else that is influenced by culture, age, education, intelligence and context. I particularly enjoy watching children when they are experiencing something as funny. Not so much because what they are watching appeals to me, but because their laughter and gladness is infectious and helps me feel like I am in the presence of holiness.
What do you consider to be funny and entertaining? When last did you enjoy funny entertainment and how did you feel afterwards?
