>there is a special word in japanese for this kind of joke: "SAMUI!" it means cold, as in daggy, unfunny, but for some reason you can't help laughing!
Hmmm. On this side of the BIG BIG pond we call 'em puns :)> (I too have a beard).
I'm a fairly serious student of puns and humor, and have developed a very interesting philosophy about humor in general. If you look at jokes in general, there's always someone that you're laughing at. It's a pretty universal truth that there's a butt to every joke, as cliched as that may sound. (Is there a way to put that little mark over an e here???) But that isn't true of puns. In a good pun there's no butt of a joke. As a result, according to my theory of humor, people cannot laugh at puns because there's no one to laugh at. And that's why they groan.
What the heck is daggy?
