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?

It's A Mad Mad World

 A climate of stupidity made this collection possible.

It chronicles the most outrageous occurrences of shortsightedness, incompetence, and poor judgment.

Not all characters in these dispatches are stupid.  Some are merely ridiculous or momentarily inept.

Others are very bright people who become innocently entangled in improbable situations that turned out to sound stupid.

The papers that reported these occurrences are all reputable mainstream bastions of journalism.

Thanks to them, for without their efforts we will never see any strange news from this strange planet.

Although a lot of us are worried about the threat of crimes in our neighborhood.  The good news is, that there are plenty of crooks who don't realize that they are their worst enemy.

Are you ready? Here we go!

STUCK ON GLUE:

A thief was found stuck on the floor of the factory after trying to steal glue in Belo Horizonte 280 miles north of Rio in Brazil.

Edilber Guimaeares, 19, stopped to sniff some of the glue he was stealing when two large cans fell on the floor, spilling over.

When police were called, Guimaeares was glued to the floor, asleep.
