Comedy is hard

I’ve heard that many times from people. Some say doing drama is easier. Well I don’t really know. To that end, I’m reading my first book on comedy writing that I checked out from the library. Here’s what the author has to say about humor:
Humor is playful incongruity that contains a tension between two levels of meaning followed by a clash of sufficient complexity that surprises and delights and that leads to a resolution of that meaning.”
What’s so hard about that?

Mine’s not so intellectual.
It says “Humor can be a four-letter word. Especially if you can’t spell.”

Sorry, could you say that again? I choked on the bullshit the first time and didn’t hear what you said… ;)
