GUEST,traveler - a guest Your attitudes toward 'what's funny'. (77* d) RE: Your attitudes toward 'what's funny'. 08 Dec 00


One thing everyone left out was language. Maybe that's the same as culture but I don't think so. Try reading the literal translations of some German or Italian jokes to see what I mean. They're just not funny except in German or Italian. My own sense of humor was shaped by my neighbors in the mid-west, who were all skilled storey tellers. And by Ed Sullivan, who taught me to never laugh at my own jokes.
