Fundamentally all jokes may be based on fear, or rather the cancelation of
fear. There is a theory we evolved laughter because we needed a universal
"all clear" signal. A troop of hominids is moving through the African
savanna when one gives a danger signal that he has spotted a movement that
might have been made by a Saber Tooth Tiger, but another troop member has a
better look at it and laughs indicating that it's only a squirrel.
