      AND THE

      LONDON PUNCH

      Tell me what a man laughs at, and I will tell you what he is, was one of Goethe's pregnant apothegms.

      Laughter, one of the chief lines of cleavage between man and beast, is one of the chief points of differentiation between man and man. From the good-natured banter which kins all the world to the envenomed sneer that sunders it, laughter runs the whole gamut of human emotions.
