    It’s true.

    First, the thought was “Oh no! That chicken is crossing the road! She’ll surely be killed!”

    Then came the relief of seeing that the chicken had safely crossed the road, leading to laughter.

    It was only later, when the anxiety and fear had ebbed, that the observers had the luxury to ask “WHY did the chicken cross the road?”, and formulate the traditional, humorous response.

    “Knock knock.”

    “Who’s there?”

    “Death.”

    “Whose death?”

    “Yours.”

    Um…that’s entirely interpretation. You could just as readily say that the delight in seeing a familiar face overcomes or counteracts any anxiety. Assuming it is on a single dimension (anxiety/relief) is not justifiable without additional data. (Research psychologist signing off…)

    Did he?

    “What’s so funny ‘bout peace love and understanding?” Not so much.

    “What’s so funny ‘bout fear surprise and ruthless eficiency?” More than you’d expect.
