Humour!? Humour does not reveal values!. Humour is a fallacy!. We laugh at a child when the child does something that we have not seen the child do!. The more the child repeats the action that was the subject of humour, the less humorous it becomes, until it is not humorous any longer!. Thus the action was not humorous!.
Humour does not exist, and is often at the expense of another, such as the evangelist or philosopher!. Humour is surprise!. The joke has a punch line, where the expected conclusion is swapped for one that is unexpected or not anticipated!. If it is anticipated, it is not humorous!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
