BEING FUNNY

   Humor is magic.

   It's a complete mystery why we find things "funny" and why we "laugh".

   Crying because someone died makes some logical sense. It's a bad thing, and crying expresses a negative emotion.

   But when you see a dog run into a window because he doesn't see it... and he gets a confused look on his face, you LAUGH. What's with that?

   Humor is interesting to me, in that if you're funny, it makes people FEEL GOOD inside. They laugh, and it triggers positive feelings.

   If you're not naturally funny, it's a great skill to learn. Read books. Watch live comedy. Do whatever it takes to learn how to be funny.

   Most of the "coolest" guys I know are wickedly funny. Some of them are only funny on occasion... but they "get it"... and when they do make a joke,it's DAMN funny.
