Trust me, there is plenty of it especially, if you read some of Albert Einstein's quotes ! The ones that I will post here, are not from him but I found them terribly amusing !!

HUMOR :a feat, after the invention of language, which is man's proudest achievement!!
KINDNESS : a language that the dumb can speak and the deaf can hear!.
LANGUAGE : the most important form of intercourse practiced by man next to sex, a system which was developed to allow humanity to complain without killing or maiming!.
LOVE : the most slippery word in the human language -- used by slaves to seduce, by fools for comfort, and by most men to placate the female of the species!.
PHILOSOPHY : a system of labeling and redefining our language to allow us to rescue the absurd !!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If Philosophy is about Life which has an endless stream of funny incidents created by people, then much humour must be present in philosophy!. Humour is often a great saviour in tensed or difficult situations!. It also helps us to remain sane, lively and happy!. Philosophy tends to be a lively subject as there are always many opportunities for humorous treatment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

as much as there is in other subjects!. I was talking to my philo prof the other day about the ultimate Truths that the "great philosophers" struggle with!. He mentioned Wittgenstein, who thought the most important Truths are impossible to vocalize, so it's silly to try to!. Figuring out exactly how he got to that conclusion was hard for me, but eventually i got it and at the end of my email, I said I thought it was funny that "we're talking about whether or not we should take about it"!. We both had a good laugh!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Socrates the ancient Greek philosopher said, 'It is better to remain silent and to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and thereby remove all doubt!.' His saying is both philosophical and humorous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nietzsche, I think he paid his whole short blame of life to philosophy to realize the romance(between him & his sister) was a laughable babies' deep skin-ship!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
