I recently finished reading Barry Sanders' (the professor, not the football player) Sudden Glory: Laughter as Subversive History.
Link: https://books.google.com/books/about/Sudden_Glory.html?id=w9VZAAAAMAAJ&hl=en
I felt like the following excerpt belonged here, what with the chaos, the disruption of closed systems, and the farting.
It's an excellent book that contextualizes laughter from both historical and mythological standpoints, and it contains some great etymology to boot. Highly recommended if you're into that sort of thing.
