Book Description
Some things are funny -- jokes, puns, sitcoms, Charlie Chaplin, The Far Side, Malvolio with his yellow garters crossed -- but why? Why does humor exist in the first place? Why do we spend so much of our time passing on amusing anecdotes, making wisecracks, watching The Simpsons? In Inside Jokes, Matthew Hurley, Daniel Dennett, and Reginald Adams offer an evolutionary and cognitive perspective. Humor, they propose, evolved out of a computational problem that arose when our long-ago ancestors were furnished with open-ended thinking. Mother Nature -- aka natural selection -- cannot just order the brain to find and fix all our time-pressured misleaps and near-misses. She has to bribe the brain with pleasure. So we find them funny. This wired-in source of pleasure has been tickled relentlessly by humorists over the centuries, and we have become addicted to the endogenous mind candy that is humor.

Book Description
This book is talented, the writer is humorous. Writing ten chapters each with a gathering of short humorous and amusing articles has been tremendously inspiring for me. I often hear words that trigger my imagination, jot it down on toilet paper, the palm of my hand or a notebook depending on my whereabouts. Whoops, excuse me reader, I just noticed there is an error at the very beginning of this note. Please go back to the start where it reads: "This book is talented, the writer is humorous." It should read: "The writer is talented, the book is humorous."
