Imagination may be more powerful than we have imagined it to be! Imagination is in play when telling a “Funny.” You “see the pictures” of the story or joke in imagination and describe them; your listeners assimilate their view of the pictures in their imagination.
The same dynamic is involved when you CREATE A FUNNY and share it with another. We have viewed four IMAGENARY examples of how imagination can contribute to humor: Bubba; One-arm Fiddler; Man in Hospital; and Tung. Before moving on, consider going back to review these examples. Just key June 8; June 10; June 13; and June 15 (successively) into SEARCH on the Home Page. Remember, you are free to take an idea and create a humorous story by embellishing it as you wish! There is no requirement that it be factual. Imagination IS powerful IN IT’S OWN RIGHT–and is essential for the humorous person!
