What makes you laugh?

Laughter is one of life’s great joys, and I’ve got a few triggers that never fail to get me chuckling. Here’s a rundown of what makes me laugh:

• Good, clean humorwhether it’s from a clever movie line, a witty book, a silly cartoon, or just something absurd that happens in real life.
• Memories of my own past blundersthe kind of mistakes that were mortifying then but hilarious now in hindsight.
• People who think they can outsmart deathmeeting them or reading about their grand schemes always cracks me up.
• Politicians and bureaucrats claiming they’re “here to serve us”the irony of that one deserves its own comedy special.

There’s probably more I could add, but these are the big hitters that cover the essentials
