Response to speaker

I really appreciated the speaker, finding him immensely funny and entertaining. I found his Ideas about humor to be both informative and insightful. In particular I enjoyed his discussion of how jokes, generally, were not something you could just force out. Rather, they are the product of a sort of natural thought flow about a subject matter. Though It was clear that he had a clear appreciation, and predilection for, political humor, this didn't stop me from taking away a great deal from his presentation. I even wrote a few things he said down, both because they were true and because they were hysterical. The articles he told us about were really funny pieces, and I was happy to see that he read McSweeney's. Now I feel less guilty about the library hours I have wasted on that site.
