More From Marcel Proust

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

If a comedian tells a joke that you find funny, you laugh. if he tells a joke you do not find funny, dont laugh. or you could possibly go as far as groaning or rolling your eyes. then you wait for his next joke; if thats funny, then you laugh. if its not, you dont laugh - or at very worst, you can leave quietly.
Eye Laughing Waiting
"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."
Hurt Real People
Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. someone being serious or angry might be funny. if you get angry, the first thing i want to do is laugh because i don't know why you're getting that angry. pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.
Laughing Funeral Trying
People wince when something is in bad taste. they laugh when it's funny. if it's too dirty or wrong, they won't laugh. but if it's a big, dirty, smart, funny laugh, they love it.
