What is the purpose of this stud
Professor Peter McGraw and writer Joel Warner have teamed up to explore the science of humor on a global expedition. The Humor Code chronicles their adventures, scientific experiments and unintentional comedy along the way. Learn more about McGraw, Warner and their travels at Today's post was originally published on the Humor Code's Wired Blog.
The Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor Conference is probably the only convention where it seems appropriate for a sock puppet to deliver the opening remarks.
And not just any sock puppet — a sock puppet stand-in for Patty Wootan, the organization’s outgoing president, who couldn’t make it to last month’s event here. Her successor, Chip Lutz, took the stage the first morning of the conference with a sock on his hand, mouthing along to Wootan’s prerecorded introductory speech.
Unfortunately for Lutz, Wootan’s remarks were impressively lengthy and rambling, eventually leading the puppeteer to lean over the podium, grimacing in pain as he struggled to keep his hand up. The several hundred attendees ate it up, roaring in laughter.
That laughter is what the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor Conference is all about.
