When Genesis 1:1 says "in the beginning" it does not mean the very beginning of everything. This is obvious to many people because God designed the universe BEFORE He created it. Would that it was obvious to more people. THEREFORE, God designed there should be TRUTH and truth is hard. In the midst of truth is freedom of thought and freedom of expression. THEREFORE, lies and absurdity and conflict and humor exist. Often when I voice a simple TRUTH my mom will smile or laugh because the realization of the disconnect between two true conditions is apparent. God laughs because He knows TRUTH. We laugh because we lie and do stupid stuff. The common element is the disconnect or absurdity. That's it, In my view. (BTW, my mom turns 96 this month!)
I enjoyed this one very much. I am sure I would not have laughed when Fifi become Spot though but then again laughter seems to be contagious so I might have eventually joined in.
