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 ... they have managed to make you smile.

Did you ever wonder how solar energy works? Before we embark on this new adventure, the truth should be said that we usually pay P6000 each in these 3 houses for our electricity. And because the amount looked too much as compared to other households, we decided to make drastic ways to improve our energy consumption.

When the home solar system became a fad I tried to place one in John Michael's house to see how it works.  When his bill came after using solar, he said, " It didn't even make a dent in my bill. It is more or less the same amount and the same usage. After the second, third, and fourth months he said. "I don't think it is helping in any way the way the four-month record shows. The amount instead of decreasing went even higher than we expected.

"OK since you feel it is useless to you, I will have the solar panels connected to my house and we will see what happens with my bill.  After a month my P6000 bill plunged to a record low of P1300. 

What happened? With my bill, I am convinced more than ever that solar actually helped.  And our energy-saving approach may have helped too.

What happens to JM's experience with the solar, needs a thorough investigation.  Or perhaps he knows something ... and is doing something that we don't.

I really don't understand why some people like traffic jams. But apparently, they are LINING up for it.

I got some theories.  My friend finds it an opportunity to meet somebody, and talk to them while the cars are moving snail-paced. All he has to do is open the car window, and check if the cute little driver in the other car is looking ... and he can start the conversation.

It was also the time for him to roll up his sleeves and put a little "cheese" in his pick-up lines.

Did you ever stop to wonder why cars are lining up in a traffic jam? I hope they are not lining for a JAM, a jelly, or sweet preserves?

And did you ever wonder why they form a Q (queue) in the roundabout? 

And why are the cars tailing another car - creating a bumper-to-bumper scenario that always makes everybody ends up in a bummer-to-bummer mood?

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?

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?

Did you ever wonder if those birds on the trees are married? Or were they united by Holy Matrimony that they don't care less if they mimic the millennial's exorbitant public display of affection?

Was it the product of societal changes in how people believe about sex and relationship that even birds follow? 

Or are they just a bunch of juvenile delinquents enjoying their freedom, flirting around, and making you feel miserable and so alone?

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!"
