One evening, while in a marvelous mood, I wondered out loud to Hubby why on earth people find dirty jokes and those about bodily functions so funny. Then I pondered that maybe it's because we're half angel, half animal, and the angel in us is laughing at the animal. I thought that was as good an explanation as any.
It seems Mr. C. S. Lewis agrees with me. I just found a passage where he says, "The coarse jokes proclaims that we have here an animal which finds its own animality either objectionable or funny. Unless there had been a quarrel between the spirit and the organism I do not see how this could be. I do not perceive that dogs see anything funny about being dogs: I suspect that angels see nothing funny about being angels."
Great minds........ So very cool.
