Did you know that a really, really clever person in Britain decided to study jokes? He found out that our brain has a funnybone!! He used a special scanner, called an NMI scanner, to measure brain activity. While he was scanning their brain he read them some unfunny sentences. Then he read them some jokes. When people listened to a joke the brain would use the pre-frontal cortex to make sense of the punchline (the important or funny part of the joke). This showed that jokes are funny to people because they have a funnybone inside their noggin AND that jokes work when the punchline is completely different to what they expected. For example: Two fish were inside a tank and one says to the other: “How do you drive this thing?” Lol. Funny, huh?
