One night after having thought a great deal about humor, I dreamed I lived in a world where the laws of humor were simple and predictable. In this universe, it was the sight or sound of shattered glass that made one laugh. I saw a comedian on a late-night talk show pull out a wine glass from his jacket pocket and casually toss it onto the floor in front of him to get a polite laugh from the audience. Then he reached his toe out and knocked over a vase on the table next to him to garner a hearty chuckle. Finally, he had a series of glass aquariums rolled out onto the stage, and he shattered them with a baseball bat until the audience had lost its collective mind.
