Satire itself is an intellectual pattern. Also, intentional nonsense must be carefully crafted to be nonsensical. That in itself is an intellectual behavior. Or I'm mistaken. What do you think? Where is humor? >From out on a limb, Andy Hey Andy, Humor is a kind of of DQ. Expected static intellectual patterns are suddenly flipped to reveal another meaning, reminding us all are intellectual models are inherently flawed. Goucho's joke, "I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member" attacks all static systems of thought. Another example: "There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out."
