Humour in the Bible?!
In September I was so busy looking at posts (preparing the Carnival) that I never noticed how many comments Lingamish managed to provoke with his stirring (in several senses) post Funny Stuff in the Bible - I still haven't counted but it is a lot! The earlier attempt, Whoa to you who laugh, stirred up quite a hornets nest too ;-) What an opportunity missed! I could have guided all that traffic to my series of podcasts on Humour in the Bible, still some of the ideas suggested by the staunchly unsmiling L ;-) may encourage me to extend the series...
¶ 7:28 AM

There's a lot more that could be said on the topic of humor (Note: please change the misspelling in your post title).
Luther said that the Devil hates to be laughed at. Irony, hyperbole and lampoon are all used by Jesus for humorous effect but it's not always easy to catch that in translation.

"Humor" is a small town Suceava, in Romania, I believe it is best known for its monastery, but fail to understand its relevance to this post.
