The purpose of life is to be happy and to be useful to others. To achieve the first purpose, being happy, we should be open to recognizing subtle humour in routine life that often brings 'happiness', though happiness means much more than just that.

I enjoy humour, especially when I share it with somebody. I like it even more when my children generate a 'Reader's Digest-worth' humour from their experiences at school, play or interaction with us.

We came up with this once:

Patient: Doctor! I have indigestion.
Doctor: Oh, that's easy to treat.
Patient: What should I do?
Doctor: Just read some books.
Patient: And why does that help?
Doctor: Because Reader's Digest!

(I have submitted this to Reader's Digest, have to wait and see if they accept it)

Some more here:

A man goes to a restaurant. He can't pronounce 'r' properly and uses 'l' instead.
Waiter: What do you want Sir?
Man: Please give me boiled rice (lice!) with soup.

(This came up after we watched the Hindi movie Kaminey in which the protagonist lisps)

Will add more as they are generated...

Have fun and post your humour too
