Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.
No humorist is under any obligation to provide answers and probably if you were to delve into the literary history of humour it's probably all about not providing answers because the humorist essentially says: this is the way things are.
A sense of humor isn't everything. It's only 90 percent of everything.
One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
Humorists of the 'mere' sort cannot survive. Humor is only a fragrance, a decoration.
Humor is like a frog; if you dissect it, it dies.
When you start explaining why something's funny or finding a formula for it I think it loses some of its funniness.
