A professor has a classroom filled with
students about to take a philosophy final. The only question on the test is
"Why?" All of the students begin to write feverishly. One student,
however, writes, "Why not?" and leaves. The professor instantly gives
him an A.
Now that was funny! Another word to describe
this joke is humorous because humor is the basis of the joke.
Nevertheless, people often misspell humorous
as humerous. That’s not a real word because it would be the adjective form of
the word humer but that’s not a word either. We do have a humerus bone in our arms,
but there’s no humor in that! Just hit the inside of your elbow on a desk and you'll know what I mean.
A trick to remember how to spell the word humorous correctly, as in funny, is to think the “R” is so weak, it needs an “O” on both sides to hold it up.
