Looking for Priceless Humor on the Internet?
For centuries stories have been told and retold throughout the world. Why? For one thing, they are entertaining. For another, they deal with the human condition. Even stories using animals as characters reflect the situations and actions of our species.
The struggles of life have been with us for centuries as well. Conflict. Famine. Thorny relationships. Struggles that implore some understanding, some support. A resolution of some sort.
Needless to say, no one cares to listen to preaching. We prefer to take our medicine with a bit of sweetener. That is where laughter comes in. It is the honey in the brew. Priceless humor is filled with wit and wisdom. A unique combination.
As you know, everyone loves to laugh. Laughter enlivens the spirit. And everyone loves to laugh at the foibles of our own species (as long as it happens at the expense of another). Call it priceless humor.
Look at the great humorists around us. Dave Barry. George Carlin. Garrison Kiellor. Look at history and the humorists that litter the pages. Mark Twain Henry Fielding All of them were storytellers. Priceless humor their brush.
Priceless humor... what makes it priceless? The answer is simple. Priceless humor revolves about common everyday experiences. The lost keys. The comic situation. The consequences that follow are generally laughable.

When I am out and about, I tune into conversations around me. They are filled with catastrophes and disasters. And the life lessons are generally hidden from view. As a storyteller, my job is to sift through the data and sort out the meaning. To make the tale palatable, I inject a bit of humor. Priceless humor.
Virtually every storytelling genre contains examples of priceless humor. What is the reason for it? Another simple answer. We learn best when we are laughing. There is often a lesson to be learned through a story with priceless humor. Priceless humor is... priceless!
