Why do people laugh?

[joe-90]

Where did the notion come from? Where does it fit in the Darwinian scheme of things? Why is a joke only funny on first hearing?

 

[Alarm]

Because yours are not that funny a second time

 

[joe-90]

But you think they are first time around? Gee thanx

 

[adlplumbing]

joe he was funny
but it fits in with us being social animals
their only one other mammal which adopts unrelated children
vampire bats

 

[Alarm]

But you think they are first time around? Gee thanx

No worries

I believe all animals have a sense of being, as they know how to breed, where to migrate to, so I also feel they also have a sense of humour. If Tiny, falls out the nest, then the other rib him, then eat him.

Parallel to that if a comic fails in their standup, they get heckled. Pack eats minuite.
