I'm also partial to jokes about parrots. I keep a log of parrot jokes, it's over 100 pages long. Quite a few are duplicates, but it's my log and I don't care if it is untidy.

Uh-Oh, off topic. What was the question again?
I can second that. The more "unreal" and harder it is - the better.
However - I noticed - because I was not born into one language, but rather several ones (speaking 6 so far) - that the fine details, context knowledge make a whole difference in how Humor is perceived.

As my wife always tells me - to make me understand a "fine" joke, she has to wave the pale with "Humor" written in Large Capital letters on a Flag.

So - IMHO - my best definition of Humor is linked to the environment you are into, the context and how well you know these people you are sitting with and how they make you understand their Humor
