How much should you analyze something funny to decide if it is funny? I have a broad sense of humour but sometimes just a word can be funny whatever the context. Sausages is a funny word
What other words do you find funny
Who would be top of the League of Humour? Comedians, actors, raconteurs?

I was checking DVD's in town today and come across an American stand up called Louis C K. Very generous testimonies to his talent on the cover of course but I haven't heard of him. Would he stand up to his billing as America's finest? Over here I like Dara O'Briain a fine Irish stand up and presenter of Mock the week. There are plenty more of course.....
