Minor Things That Make 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 ... and had manage to make you smile.

Did you ever hear somebody complaining he does not have an income because he doesn't have work?

But when he has work you heard them, "I came to work today ... does not mean that I really have to work."

And there's another one, "I don't always work.  And when I do ... I make sure the boss is around."

When given the chance to work with these two ... I will say...  "I don't think of you as my co-worker. Why? Because you never do any work!"
