THE PATHFINDER THAT SAVING SENSE OF HUMOR Our sense of humor rs a funny thrng As the drctronarres define rt a person s sense of humor rs hrs abrlrty to see the pornt of a yoke and to apprecr ate rts value Hrs sense of humor rs usually measured by hrs abrlrty to do thrs However, there rs a great deal more to our sense of humor than thrs and rt rs rnterestrng to analyze and examrne rt The ludrcrous plays no small part rn laughter Charlre Chaplrn our popular screen comedran, has wrrtten an artrcle tellrng how he appeals to the publrc s sense of humor you who have laughed long and loud at Charlre had better prepare for a severe Jolt to your self esteem because thrs rs rn substance, what Chaplrn says The Amerrcan publrc rs always ready to laugh when a custard pre rs thrown full rn '1 polrcemans face It howls w rth glee when the bull dog makes away wrth the seat of the vrllran s trousers, and when the cranky old lady s umbrella rs turned rnsrde out by the wmd rt nearly chokes w rth merrr ment I beg your pardon you say rn an offended tone such srlly antrcs would never make me even smrle Yes, but who of you has not sometrmes found hrmself holdrng hrs srdes whrle w atchrng an ordrnary movre comedy rn whrch the vrllage cut up rs thrown head first rnto the waterrng trough A good example of thrs style of humor occurred some trme ago rn a comedy rn w hrch Charlre Chaplrn hrmself was the comedran Charlre w as on an ocean lmer and w as seasrck He came reelrng down the deck of the shrp w hrch w as suffer rn quret At last, he spred the object of hrs search but sad to relate rt w as folded up Anyone w ho has eyer trred to unfold and set up a steamer charr under the best of crrcumstances w rll know what an exasperatrng task rt s VVell to contrnue w rth Charlre and hrs charr w hat w rth the rollrng of the shrp and hrs seasrckness he had a battle royal tryrng to set rt up As soon as he set the front legs firmlv on the deck the back ones caved rn and as soon as he had the back legs fixed to hrs satrsfactron the front ones became unman ageable Then he set rt up upsrde down and then on rts srde and flnrshed majestrcally wrth the whole affarr enveloprng hrs head and shoulders and mrxed up wrth hrs arms and legs He lay thus untrl an oblrgrng steward happened along and untangled hrm All thrs trme, of course, the audrence was laughrng uproarrouslv, and who w ouldn't? It was certarnly amusrng to watch Of course thrs slap strck style of humor gets trresome very qurckly but there seems to be a certarn attractron about rt, provrded one does not see too much of rt Those who are gorng to school now and those w ho used to go know how easy rt rs to laugh at somethrng whrch rs not rn the least funnv under ordr nary crrcumstances But under the watchful eye of a teacher anvthrng out of the ordrnary rs magnrfied rnto somethrng rnordrnately comrcal just because one rs not supposed to laugh For lnstance, rf a puprl should walk up the arsle of an ordrnary schoolroom, blrssfully unaware that from hrs coat collar hung suspended a placard bearrng the legend I am a fool the w hole room ful of students would grve way to mrrthful chortles And yet, the whole affarr corrtarned nothrng really worth laughrng at ' Y 7 .
