on animals or human beings I hope he corrects the tendency before it is too late To some people a sense of humor means laughing at people To others it means laughing with them The first is a slapstick kind of humor that makes people laugh when a aman aman aman man steps on a banana peel falls faUs and dislocates his ankle or skins his nose It is the lowest kind of humor I Imagine when you arc are chuckling over situations it is because they are arc something out of the ordinary t something exaggerated or keenly sensed in Its less serious aspect which the other person could enjoy as well weB as you Usually people who can laugh at themselves at the unlooked unlocked for turns which fortune takes which words assume or which cause and effect bring about have a n. real sense of humor Usually it is the person who laughs at other people who is never able to laugh at himself He Heis Heis Heis is the person who alwa always s 's has a bag of tricks s up his sleeve to play playon on the other fellow but sees nothing funny about it if somebody retalIates retaliates retaliates ates by playing a trick on him He Heis Heis Heis is the practical joker whose whole sense of humor lies in the fact that somebody else was placed in a ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous ridic ridic- ulous position or in some manner is the victim of a set of circumstances circumstances circumstances circum circum-
