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 why is it that when you are in a hurry, too many things happened to you like you left your cellphone at home and you are expecting an important call and you need to go back ...
And how about a herd of cows crossing the street with their headmaster glancing at you like you have a problem?
Or perhaps a funeral car made you pull over and there were long men and women in black in a gloomy mood in a somber parade?
