Tell stories that make fun of others or make them look ridiculous. Be sarcastic and act superior. Use humor that the audience may not understand because of cultural, professional, gender or age differences. Play practical jokes designed to embarrass people. Tell off-color stories.
Laughter is universal and contagious.
It has been called the world's common language and a miracle drug. By contrast, a sense of humor is culturally determined by what is considered absurd or incongruous by people at a particular time and place. Humor is more than a laughing matter because it uncovers shared emotions and the feeling of being at one with others. All rights reserved.
