I like one-liners, especially those that make you think for a second or two before you laugh out loud just as the brain whips everything into shape to display 'This is Funny, laugh', or whatever it is the brain does to make you laugh. I often (well, not very often to be truthful) wonder what makes some people laugh at different things to others, and I'm not talking about the empathy v. non-empathy situation when someone stands on a fork and it springs up and hits him painfully in the face. I'm talking about why some people laugh continually at Tim Vine or Ken Dodd, whilst others sit there stony faced wondering why I am rolling around on the floor.
It's because I'm more sophisticated of course. I understand the jokes, whilst those thickos over there 'don't get it'. Of course its that.
..or perhaps not. Perhaps the human mind needs an individual sequence of events/words to unlock the laugh door within.
I still can't understand though why some people don't laugh at 'Venison, its dear isn't it?'
