Happy Genes
Me: "Knock-knock."
You: "Who's there?"
Me: "Lettuce."

Me: "Lettuce in!"
Ha ha ha! (Insert cricket noises here.) When I'm the only person laughing it's like the sound of one hand clapping. Next time perhaps I should do a little genetic screening on my audience and get me the best crop of listeners possible. I get the idea from happiness researchers, who say that giggles, chuckles, and guffaws arise from a mixture of circumstances, habitual thought, and—gasp!—genetics. My bad jokes are not my fault. Isn't that funny? You can read more at Set Point Match (go to story).
