Why humor is the key to enlighten people's minds?

During World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill came to Washington to meet with then-American President Roosevelt, asking the United States to join them in the fight against German fascism and give Britain material assistance. Churchill was warmly received and arranged to live in the White House. One morning, Churchill was lying in the bathtub, smoking his oversized cigar. The door opened and Roosevelt came in. Churchill had a big belly and his stomach was above the water ... It was awkward for the two leaders to meet at the moment. At this time, Churchill had a brainwave, threw away his cigarette butt and said, "Mr. President, I, the British Prime Minister, am really honest with you and have nothing to hide." With that, the two men burst out laughing. Subsequently, the talks between the two sides were successful.

Here we can't say that Churchill's humor played a great role in the success of the talks, but his "nothing to hide" not only eased the plight of individuals and countries at that time, but also contained the meaning of frank help and mutual trust. How could Roosevelt not feel it?

Humor can not only make people laugh, but also stimulate people to laugh, which is the flash of wisdom. Humor can express the speaker's thoughts, feelings and attitude towards life, embody the speaker's gentleness and tolerance, and is a skill for the speaker to express his feelings.

A few friends are chatting together. A friend of mine told such a story: There was a lazy man who refused to do anything and no one wanted to hire him. After a long time, his life couldn't go on, so he had to ask relatives and friends to introduce him to the easiest job. He was introduced to the cemetery. Tell the truth. Nothing is easier than doing this job. The lazy man went happily, but soon came back and angrily said to the introducer:

"I quit."

"Why?"

"This job is so unfair. They are all lying down, but let me stand alone. "

My friends laughed loudly after hearing this, because the lazy man's words were completely unexpected.

Humor also contains irony. But there are always smiles and sparks of wisdom.

The couple are chatting together. The husband said to his wife, "Why did God make women so beautiful but so stupid?" The wife replied: "This truth is very simple. Let us be beautiful, and you will love us. Let's be stupid and we will love you. "

16 the appearance of American president Lincoln is simply full of praise, and he himself is not shy.

On one occasion, Douglas accused him of being two-faced. Lincoln said, "Now, please let the audience comment. If I had another face, would I wear this face now? " As a result, the audience laughed, and Douglas's absurdity was revealed in the laughter.

Humor is characterized by being sharp and mean, joking but not explicit, containing the gentle and kind bearing of the speaker and superb language art. Some people even distinguish people's levels in this way: it is normal to laugh after listening to others' words; I can tell jokes to make others laugh. This person has a good sense of humor. Only those who can laugh at themselves can hope to become a master of humor, because self-mockery is the highest grade of humor.

The most important factor in creating humor is limited language. With limited language, a humorous artistic conception with complex feelings, fun and thought-provoking can be created.
