Humour is cruel by definition

[Aliantha]

Here's something that i think is funny.

Last night my brother and his wife were talking about having recently been 'fire walking'. (you know that thing where they put you in a trance and then you walk on hot coals).

I said, what happens if you get half way and 'wake up'. My husband turns to me and says, "you have to turn back".

To me, that's funny. No one is harmed by it and it's just plain funny.

I don't think humour has to be couched in someone elses pain. I think things can be funny without having to hurt someone else.
