son 2 - dad, i snuck into your room last night while you were sleeping.
big dumb dad - really?
son 2 - yep, i stole your butt.
there are certain unarguable basic truths of mathematics. truths so true that if they ceased being true, it would have truly horrific implications. bridges would fall, airplanes would drop from the sky, cats would explode, and belgian waffles would collapse under their own weight. an example of a mathematical truth would be, well i am much too busy writing this blog entry to get into it right now.
anyway, all this to draw a parallel (ironicaly drawing parallel lines depends on mathematical truths) to humor. humor also has certain unarguable truths. a mooring of comedy is the assumption that butts are funny (see, it worked already). if this truth ceased being true, it would be a humorless universe. Monty Python would explode, Bevis and Butthead would collapse under their own weight.
now, getting on to the point of this entry, much like mathematics has a beautiful mind in john nash, humor has a beautiful butt in my 5 year old son. such insight to the inner workings of comedy at such a young age is truly amazing. son two fully comprehends the funny that is "butt". as previously reported, "butt" has become the punch line to all his jokes, magnifying the hilarity by a factor of 8.
here is how it works.
why did the chicken cross the road? because he had a chicken butt.
knock, knock. who's there? a knocking butt.
what do you get when you cross an elephant with a pig? a butt.
i could site many more examples but i think you're picking up on what i am laying down. i will also have you know this post could cost me my life. i have broken the first commandment of the secret society of humorists, never reveal the secrets of funny. or maybe that was magicians. can't remember.
butt.
