Microsoft's Guide to Humor
This reminds me of E. B. White's quote:<p>"Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind."<p><a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/E._B._White" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/E._B._White</a><p>It's also reminiscent of Louis Armstrong's<p>"Man, if you gotta ask you'll never know"<p><a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Louis_Armstrong" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Louis_Armstrong</a><p>Is it really possible to develop a sense of humour by reading a list of bullet points, action plans and self-help advice? I'm not really convinced that this isn't a really brilliant, very subtle joke on a completely higher level.<p>I can't decide whether this is funnier if posted by someone in earnest, or if posted in total seriousness. I think that's the joke.
