The Taste of Humor

We come across several types of humor and humorists. A quick analysis of their contribution and charateristics bring them in some of the categories. Of the many three are listed above in the quote. It will be useful and interesting to examine each category with examples.
Let us take up the person who has an inventory of wit. He makes fun of others. To illustrate: we have the example of a person who sings and a handful of friends who are the listeners forming part of the audience.
One among the audience remarks: "Mr. Henry is a happy man. He always sings. He has no worries."
Mr. James supplements this comment. "Yes, quite true, when he sings all the worries go to others- the listeners. He thus becomes happy."
Then we take up the case of a satirist. He makes fun of the world.An example follows:
Orator: The credit for the achievement of keeping people poor in some countries goes to the politicians who have become power seekers, power brokers and power mongers.
Now follows the third category of people who ignite laughter. They're humorists in the real sense. They make fun of themselves. This is amplified below with an example.
The scene is with reference to a portrait of eminent academicians on the wall in the College.
Professor: One day I will also be hanging here.
This person makes fun at his own expense.
Humor does not have malice. It triggers laughter, stretches and relaxes all muscles in the face and the stomach. It entertains and enlarges the circle of friends. It is a trait worth developing.
