The Humour page

Humour is anything that provokes laughter and provides amusement. One who possesses a sense of humour is indeed a blessed person. There are some people who maintain their sense of humour even when they are in an angry state of mind. That is indeed
something ! Even in anger they come up with wonderful, amusing remarks. That helps to ease up the situation. Humour is brought about by a sudden, unexpected change; something unusual. However all unusual things are not humourous. Suppose a man is about to take his seat upon a chair without watching that the chair at the back is not in its place. He falls down. This may appear to be quite amusing, provoking laughter among those around. However, if the man gets hurt as a result of the fall, the amusement goes away instantly. Thus, upto a degree a thing or happening may be amusing. If is surpasses that degree or level, it ceases to be an amusement. It turns serious. That is the most important characteristic of humour. Upto a certain point it is humourous, after that it turns serious. A limerick:
A wonderful bird is the pelican;
his mouth holds more than his bellican.
He takes in his beak, enough food for a week,
But I'm damned if I see how the hellican.
