Super Bowl Sunday
This week’s Comedy around the World goes to the Super Bowl! What better example of humor’s M.O. than the Super Bowl. Tonight I gathered with a group of friends, some old some new. Since the Steelers weren’t playing, none of us were invested in which team would win the Super Bowl. We weren’t personally competitive or particularly worried.
Instead, we enjoyed the environment created by the hype about the Super Bowl. We laughed at some of the clever commercials. We enjoyed seeing The Who play the half-time show. We talked, ate, and enjoyed each other’s company.
Humor operates in the same way. It creates that environment where everyone can feel at ease. Where everyone is open to contribute. In this type of atmosphere, every team wins.
