Funny people are just fantastic to be around because they can take an ordinary remark, and put a hilarious spin on it. They lighten the daily load of troubles, and funny people can routinely make us laugh when we least expect it. In terms of birth hierarchy, funny people are more likely to be the last born, and the theory goes that since they have a whole bunch of older siblings with whom they compete, they quickly learn that by entertaining others, they can divert attention to themselves by being humorous.

My youngest brother is a funny person, and when he is in top form (not working 12 hours a day), he can come up with some incredibly funny comments. His humor comes so easily to him, and it is witty and sharp at the same time. Having funny people around can put a whole new tangent on an issue when they come up with a good zinger or pun, and keep that smile going. Famous funny people are integral to keeping us on the light side of life, a necessity in keeping a healthy perspective on current events.
