Findes der humor uden ondskab?



Altid har vitser et offer. Man nyder at føle sig hævet over nogle
andre, når man ler, i kor eller i enrum.

Men udover at indgå i sladdermagtkampen og mobningen, er det
brutto-lykke-skabende gevinster i form af øget selvindsigt, som det
fremgår af det første af nedenstående aforismer om latter.



"Humour is emotional chaos remembered in tranquillity. James Thurber



Og der er en vidunderlig snobbekæmpelse i mange vitser, som er
konstruktivt og gavnligt folkeoplysende, som det fremgår af sidste
fyndord her

A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the
affections. George Eliot

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody
Else. Will Rogers

For every ten jokes, thou hast got an hundred enemies.
Laurence Sterne

I was born in Melbourne with a priceless gift. It was the
ability - the priceless ability - to laugh at the misfortunes of
others. Barrie Humphrises

It's an odd job, making decent people laugh. Molière

It's hard to be funny when you have to be clean. Mae West

What do you mean, funny? Funny-peculiar or funny ha-ha?
Ian Hay



Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died. Peter Ustinov
