A few years back, Dilbert's Scott Adams wrote on his blog about how to write funny. Here's an excerpt:
"The
core of humor is what I call the 2-of-6 rule. In order for something to
be funny, you need at least two of the following elements:
Cute (as in kids and animals)
Naughty
Bizarre
Clever
Recognizable (You've been there)
Cruel"
And while I'm far too busy to look up the link, I'm sure you could read the rest if properly motivated and if you have either a computer or a phone with Internet capabilities. Which, unless someone printed this out and gave to you, would have to be the case, right?
And what kind of weirdo prints out discussions from a blog in the first place?
Now the real question: Is Adams right?
