Comedy

Humans are not the only animals who exhibit humor.

A mushroom walks into a bar and the bartender says "We don't serve your kind here." and the mushroom says - "Why not? I'm a fungi."

My cat has a sense of humor... Her expression of humor is to attack my feet while I sleep. She loves to sleep at the foot of my side of the bed, and we usually get along fine. But, if I inadvertently encroach on her territory she reminds my feet, as a mother cat might discipline her kitten. Shocking to me, and hilarious for the cat. I wake up with a start, look at her, she looks at me, and then she begins purring contentedly at me with her cat smile.

For Meat: I like the sexual selection direction. Women actually do respond amorously to a good sense of humor. "The basic difference is that males tend to use humor to compete with other men, while women tend to use humor to bond with others. Studies show that men more often use humor to jockey for position with other males when they are in the company of women." So, men must use "bonding" humor for attracting women, to show them they are socially cohesive, but may also use it to belittle, or dominate other men.

It wouldn't shock me to learn that throughout history, top breeding honors went to the best hunter, and the best Jester. Hey!
