Humor

No one knows exactly what it is that makes a person laugh or why any thing funny should cause us to make such a peculiar noise.

By far, the greatest amount of humor is told rather than seen. Humor of words can be gentle and kind, or it can be harsh and biting. Most humor produces a smile, but wit usually causes people to breakout into laughter.

Comedy is one form of drama that deals with ridiculous aspects of human behavior to make people laugh. Many famous humorists like… Nash, Oscar Wilde, G.B Show etc. made satirical comments on society and ridiculed foolish behavior. For them humor was the best means of surviving is a difficult world. To summarise “laughter is the brush that sweeps away the cobwebs of the heart.”
