Funny people do not come in bunches. Funny people are always surrounded by those who appreciate their funniness. So what happens when two funny people come together*?
*little side note: how many of us here still say "to-get-her" as they spell together? Not me, but I looked at the word and thought it looked wrong, so I went back to my elementary roots (which were dirty blonde) and said, yep. that's right.
What happens when two funny people come together is this massive appreciation of the other person's funniness. And using the other's funny to springboard their funny, to make more funny, and everyone ends up laughing til their sides start crying and begging for mercy.
This theory is demonstrated in my dad and his funny friends.
And in the movie The Sons of Provo.
And at Jester'Z Improv comedy place.
But not in groups of high school friends that are all girls or all boys. Those groups of friends are never funny. Why? I don't really know. Maybe because they have no one to impress so they don't try and be clever. Because true humor is found in cleverness. That's why you don't find funniness in groups of cheerleaders. Sorry, but it's true that none of them are clever enough. Or in groups of football player boys. The funniest people hang out on the outer rings of circles, they aren't really a part of anything, and this enables them to
A) know what everyone thinks is funny, and cater to their funny needs
and B) have a constant supply of new people to impress. Which creates more cleverness, which fuels all other areas of life in the funny world.
I love funny people. Not just people who are slap-stickers, but people who are legitimately funny.
KODY'S HOME!!!! GOTTA GO!
