A laughing baby, certain SNL skits and Weekend Update, some animal videos, certain comedians, passages in books, jokes, my siblings, my wife, other members of the family, certain situations or turns of phrase that show up in dreams.
Every now and then, I’ll see something online that makes me crack up. The eyes water, the nose runs– it’s a great release. On occasion, I’ll think of something from a long time ago that made me laugh, and it’s like I’m hearing it for the first time.
