Big Jay Oakerson: Exploring the Mystery of Funny

Laughter is a mysterious gift to our species. I don’t understand it. I just know that, when the world seems dark and I’m losing my way, a good laugh gives my spirit resilience. I don’t know why this dude is funny and I don’t care. “Why?” has become an irrelevant question to me as I get older. “What?” is much more essential.
