:Word History: "'O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy." Perhaps Lewis Carroll would chortle a bit himself to find that people are still using the word chortle, which he coined in Through the Looking-Glass, published in 1872. In any case, Carroll had constructed his word well, combining the words chuckle and snort. This type of word is called a blend or a portmanteau word. In Through the Looking-Glass Humpty Dumpty uses portmanteau to describe the word slithy, saying, "It's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word" (the meanings being "lithe" and "slimy").

"When we are tempted to magnify our self-importance, if we stop to contemplate the [[Infinite|infinity]] of the greatness and grandeur of our [[Creator|Makers]], our own self-glorification becomes sublimely ridiculous, even verging on the humorous. One of the [[functions]] of humor is to help all of us take ourselves less seriously. Humor is the [[divine]] antidote for exaltation of [[ego]]."[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper48.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper48.html&line=138#mfs]
