btw, not to be a stick in the mud, but you're not looking for a definition. your question is better phrased as, 'why are funny things funny?' or 'why do we laugh at funny things?'
i'm sure all humor stems from making connections between two things that seem incongruous, whether it be puns or sophisticated irony. my guess is that sending nervous impulses through unexpected regions of the brain 'tickles' it.
ps. 'humour' is indeed spelled 'humor' in the states. my own spelling of things has been warped due to living in jamaica a couple of years.
