\"Joker<\/p>\n

\u201cReviewing: Fear isn’t funny. This is because fear is the currency of lower life forms. Laughter is evolved, other end of the spectrum. Hence the existence of gallows humor: Use funny as garlic to shoo away the vampire-werewolf-big bad beastie of fear. Making it very hard to find the FUNNY in FEAR. Professor Joker had eight to ten hairs turn BROWN while he was trying. But what was the ultimate solution? BANANAS…\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed to the blackboard and frantically underlined words and arrows connecting his previous illustrations:<\/p>\n

\u201cFear is unevolved. Caveman is unevolved. Caveman is like a monkey. Monkey eats banana. FEAR to CAVEMAN to MONKEY to BANANA. Get it? Now\u2026 Banana PEEL,\u201d Joker continued, writing these words below the first equation, \u201cslip on the banana peel \u2014 Fall \u2014 \u2018Ah, we are all subject to gravity\u2014just as we are all subject to DEATH\u2019 We\u2019re all subject to gravity, physical law, death, ACK! And that\u2019s why slapstick is FUNNY. HA-HA-HA. So you see, Class, BANANAS are the Stargate on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
