whitbyboatguy Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Humour or humor (see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humors (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), control human health and emotion. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. The majority of people are able to experience humour, i.e., to be amused, to laugh or smile at something funny, and thus they are considered to have a sense of humour. The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour induced by humour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational. Though ultimately decided by personal taste, the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends upon a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery".[ Just so yah know... HH When I was a kid there was a guy on my street with an estimated IQ of 80-90. He was a big guy. He thought it was hilarious to blow up frogs, fish and just about any other animal with firecrackers. I know that others find doing the firecracker thing to animals to be funny too. I read that Wikipedia quote you posted.....recreational drollery sounds right.

whitbyboatguy Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 You're gonna be fun to be around in January, aren't you? HH I have seen evidence that with many posters on this board the IQ drops with the temperature. I certainly won't be around for that. I already know that the internet can't cure stupid so there is no use it me pointing stupid out.
