Looking for Priceless Humor on the Internet?

For centuries stories have been told and retold throughout the world. How come? For one thing, they are entertaining. Another reason is that they deal with the human condition, one way or another. Even stories using animals as characters reflect the situations and actions of our species.
For centuries as well, life has been a struggle. Conflict. Pestilence. Thorny relationships. All of which beg for some direction, some assistance. Some kind of resolution.
Needless to say, no one cares to listen to preaching. We prefer to take our medicine with a bit of sweetener. Enter laughter. It is the honey in the brew. Priceless humor is filled with wit and wisdom. A unique combination.
As you know, laughter lightens the heart. Laughter enlivens the spirit. And everyone loves to laugh at the foibles of our own species (as long as it happens at the expense of another). This is priceless humor.
Look at the great humorists around us. Dave Barry. Mark Russell. Russell Baker. Look at history and the humorists that litter the pages. Mark Twain Henry Fielding Storytellers all. Painting scenes with priceless humor.
