Something reminded me of this tonight. I was watching an interview of the father of the missing Florida girl.  A body language expert was analyzing the father’s speech and actions.  Because his words and movements weren’t congruent, he wasn’t credible. 

The very best humor is where there is a congruence in the type of humor and the type of comedian.  Victor Borge wouldn’t be nearly as funny if he were wearing jeans.  Other comics wouldn’t be as funny in a tuxedo.  But when we draw our humor out of our own individual style and personality, we have a much better chance of being funny.
