Old Friends

Mardi Gras this weekend, and i am not in much of a state to post. Even though it is sunday night, i have not yet fully recovered. I thought i would just do a quick post about something i noticed this weekend that pertained to humor. My friend Jason, who i have known since kindergarten, came down to visit me from UW-Madison this weekend. We spent the whole time laughing about stupid stuff, making fun of commercials and the contestants on "Press Your Luck" and just having a great time. It made me think of how much does familiarity matter to humor? My thought is that it allows the participants to be more focused on jokes, because they already know their audience, so therefore better, but that you can get tired of hearing the same kind of jokes over and over again. sorry for the short post, maybe i'll edit it when i don't feel like i was tied in a bag and smacked with sticks.

Pun, this one is pertinent!

Why is the internet going so slow?

There is a blog jam!
