I heard them clearly stated one time many years ago but have never been able to remember them. One example of an exageration scene: You are watching someone order at a restaurant. When his food comes it is a tiny bit of food on a huge platter. Clouns have big noses and huge feet. Exageratioon is making something too big or too small, too loud or too colorful. You get the idea. Whet are the seven other elements of humor?
