.... responding to the lex on FT, who sez ALL comedy songs make him scowl (a not-unusual response to enforced jollity)

(and i guess i'm talking "laugh-with" funny rather than "laugh-at" funny)

to kick things off: i think Qb's OOCHIE WALLY is funny ---:0

I have seen Peep Show! It took me ages to realise it was meant to be a comedy. I don't think I enjoyed it much. It's the one with the total loser guys in it, yeah?

I guess I see dancing and eating as EVENTS which can be aided with professional help and setting, hence going out to clubs or restaurants, but laughter is just...sort of an organic spontaneous motor to conversation, which can happen anywhere and doesn't need props or professionals.

Ah, so like the difference between spontaneous sex and hiring a hooker?

Haaaha I had never put it like that before but that's EXACTLY IT.

Haha. Well then, I suppose I regard sex as personal and laughter as public, thus while I would pay a professional to tickle my funnybone, I wouldn't pay a professional to - well, best curtail that right there, but you see what I'm saying...
