Laughing at life, and all it's bullshit-- is what makes something funny. A good joke starts with a pitch, then ends with a punch-line. For example, why wasn't the kitty invited to the picnic? because she always left litter. A nice play on words makes this humorous. Or, what two things can you never eat for breakfast? lunch and dinner. This is called a riddle. Knock knock, who's there? figs, figs who? figs the doorbell, it's broken. How you deliver it, is the name of the game. A good comic can take a tragic-situation-- and get a smile. 😄
