Poopy Humor Overlooks Anal Fissures

What is it about the human body that is so ridiculous that we always find ourselves laughing about it regardless of who we are or where we are. It is unlikely that everyone the world over has had the experience of an elementary school education into farts and burps. Potty humor? Toddlers understand that stuff. Why are things like, oh, anal fissures not funny? Seriously, is the world, on some level perpetually stuck at a toddler or child's emotional level. Well, do not answer that. We are not discussing politics here.

Burps. What is so damn funny about gases escaping though our mouths. Doctors, who one would figure are quite well versed in belching and its mechanics still find a properly placed and timed burp hilarious. Generally, is is not a good idea to belch in the presence of Queen Elizabeth or some other important person but, if for some reason it was video taped and placed on YouTube, it would be hilarious.

Who was the child "genius" how came up with the idea of belching the alphabet? What if it was not a kid who came up with that idea in the first place? What if some teacher was dealing with some thick-headed trouble-maker in their class. Would it not have been a stroke of genius if, like Huckleberry Finn this teacher somehow figured out how to get this student to do their work for them? Consider this: the teacher dares the student (who has not learned the alphabet because they are busy throwing spitballs) to belch the alphabet or, maybe, that kid would get hog piled or a wedgy from the class suck-up. Voila. The belched alphabet could have been born! Both the class suck-up and the belching master went on to become politicians by the way. Wait. We are not talking about politicians!

Why is brushing one's hair not funny? Maybe someone like Buster Keaton could have made it funny but the everyday person certainly does not. Slap stick can make things funny through over exageration. Maybe that is why sneezes can be funny. There is always the possibility that someone will sneeze and then do something ridiculous. There is a pretty good chance some "excellent" sneezing footage has made its way on to America's Most Funny Videos. Do not watch it though. Bob Sagat may make you want to cry. Stick to YouTube and the Internet for the really funny stuff.

The king to rule all bodily-related funny things has got to be the Lord almighty Flatulence. Even the name sounds ridiculous! Try saying flatulance quickly. Go ahead. No one is watching. The fart has been the mainstay of hilarious potty humor for, let us see, the beginning of time. The chances are that, after the discovery of fire, some Homo erectus class clown decided to set their fart on fire. No doubt the laughter was heard by the local saber toothed cats right before said class clown ran into the bushes to put out their burning ass hair. A cleverly placed artificial fart visa vie the whoopie cushion is a regular office prank. Underlings can even feel emboldened to embarrass their superiors in stupid and inopportune ways. Why then are certain other anal things not as funny as the fart. Anal fissures sound like they might be funny but you will have a hard time finding a comedian doing a routine about them. The term "distended rectum" was used in an episode of the British television comedy Red Dwarf but that is probably the closest anyone has gotten.

If it is funny. It is funny. Something from prehistory must have programmed the modern human's brain to find only certain bodily functions hilarious. Should we evolve away from this sense of humor? Certain stuffed shirt out there will probably say yes but there are other who think we still need a dose of stupid humor from time to time. Even if we are not elementary school kids.
