It s funny how a little humor helps the human situation. A good, solid laugh goes a long way toward alleviating stress, cleansing the soul and generally making you feel better. In fact, if you can manage to summon a chuckle in the face of what appears to be a hopeless predicament, the respite that it provides sometimes can reveal a way out of the pickle. With all that said, look at the inventive ways we ve found to be amused. Telling jokes has become an art form.
Comedians make millions by being funny enough to entertain the masses.
Comedy for audiences has progressed from the slapstick of the Keystone Kops and the Three Stooges to more subtle forms employed by such masters as Jerry Seinfeld and Kelsey Grammer. Pratfalls never seem to go out of style, as evidenced by Chevy Chase, who was doing physical humor decades after it was first employed. And every highly successful sitcom that blazes new trails tends to create another form of humor that then become imitated until it becomes old hat. But the great thing about laughing is that most things that are funny today will be funny for years to come. Andy Griffith and Don Knotts still have kids rolling around on the floor about the exploits in Mayberry, even though they reached geezer status in real life.
