Bio:

Since he was a child, Mr. Kitrich has delighted in jokes, and has tussled with the question of what it is that makes all funny things funny. The human expression of laughter is as odd as the cat's purr, a noise it makes when contented, or in shock from trauma. We laugh not only at the man we are glad isn't us; we are amused by the exhibition of badly flawed logic; certain words, and even noises are funny, too. How then to propose a definition that covers all this territory? Many have tried, but they have identified only vague aspect of the concept. (When asked about the definition of 'humor', Lenny Bruce once unzipped his fly, and began urinating on the audience). Mr. Kitrich wishes to thank Mr. Sullivan, and the others who are responsible for the running of the site, for providing a forum where very many funny people are gathered. He figures it will help him in his Socratic quest.
