A quotation from James Thurber
By definition, humor is gentle. The savage, the cruel, the harsh would fall under the heading of wit and/or satire, as the lawyers say. Now, my definitions are these: The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people — that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.
James Thurber (1894-1961) American humorist, cartoonist, writer
Interview (1959-03-24) by Edward R. Murrow, Small World, CBS-TVMore about this quote: wist.info/thurber-james/82802/

A quotation from James Thurber
America must learn that humor, whatever form it may take, can be one of our strongest allies, but it cannot flourish in a weather of fear and hysteria and intimidation.
James Thurber (1894-1961) American cartoonist and writer
Essay (1958-12-07), “State of the Nation’s Humor: ‘On the Brink of Was,'” New York Times MagazineMore about this quote: wist.info/thurber-james/82660/

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
But his [Shakespeare’s] laughter seems to pour from him in floods; he heaps all manner of ridiculous nicknames on the butt he is bantering, tumbles and tosses him in all sorts of horse-play; you would say, with his whole heart laughs. And then, if not always the finest, it is always a genial laughter. Not at mere weakness, at misery or poverty; never. No man who can laugh, what we call laughing, will laugh at these things. It is some poor character only desiring to laugh, and have the credit of wit, that does so. Laughter means sympathy; good laughter is not “the crackling of thorns under the pot.” Even at stupidity and pretension this Shakspeare does not laugh otherwise than genially. Dogberry and Verges tickle our very hearts; and we dismiss them covered with explosions of laughter: but we like the poor fellows only the better for our laughing; and hope they will get on well there, and continue Presidents of the City-watch. Such laughter, like sunshine on the deep sea, is very beautiful to me.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Lecture (1840-05-12), “The Hero as Poet,” Home House, Portman Square, LondonMore about this quote: wist.info/carlyle-thomas/82239…

Anger, fear, curiousity, are all traits that make sense in terms of survival. But why do humans have a sense of humour? How does THAT help?

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
HOBBES: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
CALVIN: (after a pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

Factory conversations be like… 😏
Some guy starts bragging about how huge he is.
Lady fires back: “You need 12 inches for that.”
Perfect silence. Everyone assumes I’m not listening. 👂😂
I look over and say:
“I can do that… I’d just have to put it in twice.”The pause.
Then absolute laughter.
Hey—no one said it had to be in one shot.
Math is math. 🤷♂️😂

[But there are lots of folks who can’t see any fun in anything; you couldn’t fire a joke into them with a double-barrel gun, ten paces off; they go through life as solemn as a cow.
