Humor
Comedy, Jokes

Humor is serious business. Sure, there are simple pleasures like the pie in the face or the Adam Sandler movie, but a lot of jokes display real intellect, and despite much reflection and experimentation—both in labs and on stages—no one has yet discovered a unified theory of hilarity. Humor can be used for bonding, releasing tension, attracting a mate, putting a rival in his place, or entertaining a child. It has as many functions and styles as there are variations on the light bulb joke. So put on your thinking cap and dive in. Bonus points if your thinking cap is a beanie. Those are hilarious.
