When I was in high school, I took a class called Humor in Literature.\u00a0 Our final project for the class was to simply answer this very same question: What is humor?\u00a0 Many of my friends in the class went around surveying teachers and students to see what they thought.\u00a0 The most popular answer was \u201cSomething that makes me laugh\u201d.\u00a0 But this answer is the obvious one.\u00a0 It is the general idea of what humor or comedy is, but the question then becomes:\u00a0 Then what exactly makes you laugh?<\/p>\n
In my response to this question, I could probably say simply everything.\u00a0 I always try to find the humor and comedy in life, no matter the situation.\u00a0 This means I find many situations to be funny that others would not.\u00a0 Some of these instances include in the middle of a field hockey game, during a really boring class lecture, or even when I am at church with my family.\u00a0 Now I know that it is not very appropriate to be laughing at these times, but I cannot help it, I can find them comedic pretty much everywhere.\u00a0 I was always taught that laughter is the best medicine.<\/p>\n
I do find many practical things to be funny as well.\u00a0 I love sarcasm more than pretty much anything in the world and use it constantly.\u00a0 Aside from my own witty jokes, I love many other kinds of jokes including \u201cThat\u2019s what she said\u201d (office freak).\u00a0 And like many others, I enjoy watching YouTube videos of people falling.\u00a0 The latest thing I found comedic was my best friend telling me stories of what her brother did while he was on vicodin after his surgery this morning.\u00a0 So, I guess I would say humor is something that makes me laugh, and for me that can be anything.\u00a0 I think that if you live life humorously, then you will always find the good in any situation.\u00a0 And a good life filled with many laughs is one worth living.<\/p>\n
Oh, and this is really comedic too: \u00a0http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yqEeP1acj4Y<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
