I'm reading a book on humor. But the following sentence puzzles me:
"Of all the things human beings do or expreence, laughing may be the funniest-- funny strange, that is , not funny ha-ha."
Can any body explain it for me. Thank you.

funny means amusing, causing you to laugh. That is "Funny ha-ha".
It also means strange or peculiar. That is "Funny strange". |
