Humour is a funny thing

                           Everyone has an opinion on humour, and think they have a sense of humour and say they like a good laugh. I recently read one of those  modified  research articles published  by  renowned university people saying  that  laughing is even more of a remedy to body’s problems than we once thought. I can picture a bunch of legally obese SUV driving university researchers procuring a fat government grant along with two conferences trips before printing these findings. Now, my Irish Grandmother sitting around a turf fire once said the same thing.  Shouldn’t courses  be  given on humour?             Since  I have an English accent,  people tend to discuss soccer and English humour  in my presence.  I care little about soccer but I find the subject of  humour intriguing. Just  like sports, humour  follows national boundaries. It is easy money to make fun of other nationalities and a revelation to discover that a nationality actually has a sense of humour. For exam
