First Joke Ever - Not mine
I suddenly remembered this out of the blue.
I think I was 7. My brother used to read these books. RD I think. That was when I read my, as in not my own but one that I did read, first joke ever. It went -
Baby Snake: Mom, am I poisonous?
Mother Snake: Yes you are honey. Why do you ask?
Baby Snake: Gosh! I bit my tongue.
I had no idea what it meant. I knew the concept of jokes. I think. I knew people generally laugh at the and of it. I thought I should as well. But I just didn't get it. I did ask my mom, who did laugh. So, I though it was safe to laugh and did, though I did not get it.
I wonder how sense of humor is developed. I am sure some jobless person in MIT has a research paper about it. I think there are 2 even.

I just hope you are not contemplating reading that research paper if it does exist!! (hoping that you do have lotsa work and also hoping that my friend hasn't become sooo geeky about every possible thing!! )
