Consider “A Philosopher Looks at The Sense of Humor” by well known lighthearted philosopher, Richard C. Richards, which shares his unique perspective on humor:
“The philosophy of humor has interested me for years, and with retirement, I decided to write the book. It has a serious intent and a humorous approach. That way I can offend a larger number of people: both the humorous and the serious. My funeral occurred several years ago, but it did not take. But I got to put the fun back in FUNeral.” — Richard C. Richards
