Question

What makes you laugh?

Answer in Brief
Advertisements

Solution

I like intelligent comedy, including sharp punchlines, entertaining conversation, and delightful rhymes that surprise and excite me. Just as a programmer finds humour in a well-placed bug joke, an unexpected twist in a story or a suitable remark in a conversation brings a virtual smile to my face.
