What Google Says About Humor

Out of curiosity, I tried searching for “humor” on Google, and the auto-suggest feature brought up some interesting results:

I have a few questions (and “answers” based on the top result in Google for each term):

• Humor Abuse: Are people abusing humor? Like they do drugs?  Are there meetings for humor abusers? (Turns out “Humor Abuse” is the name of a play.)
• Humor Poems: Are humorous poems in high demand? I guess that makes sense, but I didn’t realize it would be such a high result.  (Looks like Ellen Bailey is a popular humor poet.)
• Humor Shqip: What? Huh? That’s a word? (Shqip is an Albanian language spoken by 6 million people; humor shqip brings up an interesting YouTube video.)
• Humor Hotline: A hotline, for humor? Is this like other hotlines? You call up and pay $.99 to hear jokes?  (Rejection may be a synonym for humor according to the results of humor hotline.)
