Re: Reading between the lines and figuring out how humor works

Hi!
It's really funny.
No, it's not a blend that makes something funny.
The FUN is it, that makes blend funny.


In east Asia, we call it, 風.(FUU)
People respect never seen the god of fun, the 風神(wind)
, more than the visible 雷神(winding).


You know, he is everywhere.
You could never avoid him attending with us.
So, we are always careful not to be heard your bad words or seen your bad manners.


HE, makes us cool down,
at the dead end of hot argument or at the bottom of the small chamber,
then we could restart another way of thinking or constructing bland new concept.


Be careful, not to try to catch him or to see him or never call him by his name.
