What makes us laugh (or not) in a given situation? Some people just laugh, like my mother, who regularly burst into gales of laughter, for no apparent reason. The more puzzled our looks, the harder she laughed. I dedicate this blog to my mom, who passed away just before Christmas a year ago. http://semanticarts.com/blog/ontology-of-laughter<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsemanticarts.com%2Fblog%2Fontology-of-laughter&h=oAQFqHObQ&enc=AZMa0ogooYMsFQjsuLkO88QpUNRZc_Gg76Y9VlwDXC_Ikur1rW4xHWStmisEWJtMVpcjlf4blLVEXgUsCmIRa2VSufrubKiPXcsvpS4Nmg0NMULmg-nIZ2IkUxQNvm0zJDUAZYcr0E3IkLe-cu_vJLhKqeU2-3rTJ5oqkF0y8FSpaw&s=1> It was Marshall McLuhan who said that laughter is registration of a grievance in a comic way. “Lord, heap miseries upon us yet entwine our arts with laughters low.” ― James Joyce, Finnegans Wake Merry Xmas!
