(20 points reward) Why do humorous people have to be smart?

To know why humorous people must be smart, we must first understand what humor is.

The so-called humor is to show anxiety in a cosmetic way and restore some initial state of its psychological structure.

For example, Russian poet Pushkin (апексанпривановичге) Once he attended a duke's family dance in Petersburg, and the dance music started. Pushkin walked up to a beautiful young aristocratic lady and politely invited her. Unexpectedly, the lady was full of pride, not only refused the invitation, but also said sourly, "I can't dance with children!" " Pushkin didn't get angry after listening. He just smiled and calmly replied, "Sorry, dear lady, I didn't know you were pregnant!" " After that, he bowed politely and left the ballroom, but seeing the arrogant lady speechless and hiding away like frost is an example of humorous behavior.

Another example is that one day, the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Geothe (1749? 1832) was walking in Weimar Park when I met a literary "critic" who had always been hostile to him and degraded his works to nothing. As people usually say, the road to the enemy is very narrow, and only one person can pass through this narrow aisle. They stood face to face. This critic is very arrogant and rude. He looked up and said loudly, "Let me go. Because "I will never make way for a fool! "Goethe disdains to argue with such a trivial person, but he really needs to keep his personality integrity and psychological balance. Humorous language and ironic pleasure made Goethe choose an answer that made "critics" feel ridiculous, and replied: "I am just the opposite! "I always want to make way for fools! Goethe stood aside with a smile, but when he saw that the "critic" who was slapped had something to say, he had to leave angrily. This is another example of humorous behavior.

Another example is the French writer alexandre dumasfils Pierre (1802? 1870) I met a banker who asked Dumas with ulterior motives: "I heard that you have a quarter of black blood, right?" Dumas said, "I think so." The banker then asked, "What about your father?" "Half black." The banker is still chasing after him: "Where's your father?" "All black." The banker simply broke the casserole and asked, "Excuse me, where is your great grandfather?" Dumas said seriously: "Ape." The banker was startled: "What, how is that possible?" At this time, Dumas said happily, "Really, it's an ape. My lineage begins with an ape, and yours ends with an ape!" " ",is undoubtedly another example of humorous behavior.

Also, once, a western journalist suddenly asked Chen Yi, then foreign minister (190 1? Marshal 1972): "China recently shot down an American U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane. What weapon did it use? Is it a missile? " When confronted with such questions involving military secrets, I can generally answer them with "I have nothing to say", but Chen Yi didn't use this method. He raised his hand, made an action in the air, and told the reporter, "Let's stab it with a bamboo pole!" " The result was a burst of laughter, which impressed reporters deeply, and it was also a prominent example of humorous behavior.

In America, a female teacher asked such a question in class: "Who said' Give me freedom or let me die'?" After a while, someone answered in unskilled English: "Butrick of 1775? Henry said it. " "yes. Students, it was Japanese students who answered the questions just now. You grew up in America, but you couldn't answer it, while students from distant Japan could. How pitiful! " "Kill the Japanese!" There is a strange cry in the classroom. The female teacher flushed with anger and asked, "Who? Who said this? " After a short silence, someone replied, "1945, said by President Truman." The classmate made an answer by imitating the teacher's question, which caused everyone to snicker. Of course, this is also a humorous behavior.

According to historical records, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu were all cabinet ministers, and they were also called "People's Old Cabinet". On one occasion, because of "entertainment", the third brother invited a prostitute named Qi Yaxiu to accompany him to eat wine. Qi Yaxiu was late on purpose to make everyone laugh. Third brother always asks what Qi Yaxiu just did. She said that she was reading at home. Third brother was always curious and asked her what book she was reading. She said she was watching The Shrew! It's ridiculous for prostitutes to watch the biography of fierce women! So the boss of the third brother laughed: "Bitch is rude!" " Who knows, Qi Yaxiu replied: "I am a bitch and you are male monkeys!" When this statement came out, all the audience clapped their hands and said yes, and they were amazed! It turns out that "male monkey" is the homonym of "male monkey", and the third brother is an old and strong minister, who is in power in the ruling and opposition parties. Naturally, it is a "male monkey", but the "male monkey" corresponds to a "bitch", so how can we tell it is a "male monkey"? Prostitutes tease the prime minister and are not afraid to be investigated. Of course, she is very clever. If you think deeply, the "princes" of the Manchu Dynasty are just "male monkeys" and "high-sounding" are just "bathing monkeys", which is even more penetrating, wonderful and typical humorous behavior.

Let's look at another anecdote: a customer is drinking in a hotel. After drinking the second cup, he turned to the boss and asked, "How many barrels of beer can you sell a week?" "50 barrels!" The boss replied proudly. "Well," said the customer, "I have figured out a way for you to sell 100 barrels of beer every week." The boss was surprised and asked, "What method?" "It's very simple, as long as you fill each glass with beer." The customer's original intention was to accuse the boss of selling only half a glass of beer, but he used the boss's mercenary psychology to cleverly set a trap for the boss to get in unconsciously, and then unexpectedly accused the boss of his behavior. Humorous behavior can be seen everywhere.

Humorous people are certainly smart because they know how to adjust people's mentality, are good at taking a breath for a dull life through humor, arouse pleasant feelings, and seek the complete satisfaction of desire in the calm persistence of strangeness, implication, pun, allegory and coincidence. Therefore, everyone likes humorous people.
