Jokes are the most widespread form of buffoonery, probably because a
joke is self-contained and the easiest device with which to trigger off
laughter. Funny one line jokes are great and a bout of helpless laughter
is highly prized in the modern world, it's today's equivalent of a swig
of booze, not curing pain and worry but obscuring the symptoms for a
few brief moments. Funny one line jokes are the nearest thing in life to
complete escapism next to the climax of making love.
