Why are some people “naturally funny”? Is it in their manner of speaking, or their wry fracturing of logic (“he cracks me up”), or something in their appearance?
All through my life I have known people with this talent to seeming effortlessly make people laugh heartedly — from kids who make you snort milk out your nose, to old people whose take on things is spot-on unexpectedly sharp.
Some funny people I have known were “dry drunks,” so maybe it has something to do with brain chemistry, or a type of natural or developed defense mechanism.
