Minor Things That Makes You Smile

Humor can be dissected, as a frog can. True to form, philosophers, scientists, and certain left-brained comedians have been scrutinizing humor’s innards or viscera for a while seeking a serious understanding of what makes things funny.

According to one scholarly definition, people who have been working on a quantum theory of humor, something is humorous if people cognitively appraise it as funny, if it creates a positive emotion of amusement or if it makes somebody smile or makes him burst into laughter.

There are a lot of situations in life that we found it strange. As bizarre or offbeat they may be, or how trivial, irrelevant and minor it sounds to others if it tickles someone pink, there are still others in this whole wide world who appreciate it to the same degree as his. Who cares about others whose left-leaning attitude and their threshold of tolerance to small things and humor are askew and lopsided?

Here are examples of things that may sound superficial and paltry to some ... but makes you wonder ... they have managed to make you smile.

Have you ever wondered about those pens that don't write because there is no ink? 

If you accidentally placed it in the washing machine ... or in your polo, as you hassle and hustle your way to work, why did it turn blue when it is empty?

Why did it suddenly have ink in it? Was it a force of nature ... or something geological like a seismic volcanic activity going on?
