Re: A sense of humor redux
I noticed nobody answered the question.
How often do you laugh? Serious question.
Watching a documentary on laughter (back in 2005) they told us the peak age for laughter is 5 years old.
After some brief thought I realized that statistic was for Western children. And I perceived it was probably because of forced school.
By the age of 10 most kids aren't laughing that much, and after puberty, it's rare.
This is not true in primitive societies at all.
Another factoid in the documentary, mentioned in passing, was that we will not laugh with somebody we do not like. I considered this and realized it is absolutely true.
