Unexpected Humor and the Joy it Brings
Unexpected humor thrills me. When you go to see a funny movie, you expect to laugh. If a book review says that the content offers side-splitting humor then you expect it to be funny. Television shows have a comedy genre. But there are so many opportunities for unexpected humor that you don’t have planned.
Unexpected Humor Continues
Unexpected humor continues during our midweek Enchanted Breath. If you read Sunday’s Enchanted Blog post then you know that slips of the tongue can catch everyone off guard, and result in spontaneous shared humor.
Slips of the Tongue Are Funnier Than Banana Peels
Slips of the tongue occur often for people. Some are referred to as “Freudian slips.” They are named after the famous psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud, and were part of the form of therapy called psychoanalysis.
Funny or Offensive?
Funny or offensive is hard to determine these days. Some universal things are funny across all cultures. However, with the triggered sensitivities of the day, a broad spectrum of funny, may be a thing of the past.

Do You Like to Laugh?
I do.
Humor Hurts When It’s Misused as a Destructive Weapon
Humor hurts when it’s misused. We can’t focus on Enchanted Key #6-Humor, without also taking a look at the dark side. Whether it applies to people, pets, or government officials, if the intention is to hurt someone in a derisive manner, then it’s not humorous.

Funny Stories? Document Them
Funny stories? Document them or the Dragons will hide them at the bottom of a trunk they have buried in Iceland. Last week we talked about retrieving funny memories, from under the stress that covers them. This week we’re paying attention to writing them down or recording them in some fashion, after they occur.
Funny or Not? Has Your Sense of Humor Changed?
Funny. That’s a relative thing. What one person finds funny, another might not. What is funny to one, may be cruel to another. Humor can be a tricky thing. Sometimes the slipped-on-a-banana-peel kind of humor is hilarious until it happens to you.
Tension Diffused Through Humor
Tension Diffused Through Humor. Been there, done that?
When you’re trying to make a point, are you the “squeaky wheel that gets the grease?” Or maybe you’re the one who “catches more flies with honey” instead of using vinegar.
