All of us, at one time or another,
have experienced the strange
physiological reaction of zygomatic
stimulation and subsequent larynx
strain.
This strain upsets the respiratory
system, which results in deep,
noisy gasps. The mouth opens
and closes as the lungs struggle
for oxygen.
The struggle for oxygen causes
the face to turn various shades
of red and strange, unique noises
emerge from deep within. What
is this strange, physiological
reaction I am describing?
It is laughter!
We normally associate laughter
with humor. But, gelotology,
the study of laughter, suggests
another trigger for laughter
called the incongruity theory.
This theory suggests that
laughter arises when logic
and familiarity are replaced
by things that don't normally
go together--when we expect
one outcome and another
happens. Generally speaking,
our minds and bodies anticipate
what's going to happen and
how it's going to end based
on logical thought, emotion,
and our past experience.
But, when circumstances go
in unexpected directions, our
thoughts and emotions suddenly
have to switch gears and laughter
emerges out of the tension
between what we expect--and
what actually happens.

(Not amalgamated with 'Thought & Humor')
When the SR-71 was retired in 1990, one example was flown from its birthplace at United States Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, to go on exhibit at what is now the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (an annex of the National Air & Space Museum) in Chantilly, Virginia. On 6 March 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. J. T. Vida piloted the Blackbird, setting a coast-to-coast aircraft speed record: 67 minutes 54 seconds, at an average speed 2,125 miles per hour (3,420 km/h). Three additional records were set within segments of the flight, including an average speed of 2,190 miles per hour (3,520 km/h) measured between the radar gates set up in St. Louis and Cincinnati. These four speed records were accepted by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), the recognized body for aviation records in the United States.[53]. An enthusiast site devoted to the Blackbird lists a record time of 64 minutes 20 seconds between Los Angeles and Washington DC for that 6 March 1990 flight.[54]
The SR-71 also holds the "Speed Over a Recognized Course" record for flying from New York to London in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds, set on 1 September 1974 while flown by U.S. Air Force Pilot Maj. James V. Sullivan and Maj. Noel F. Widdifield, reconnaissance system officer.[54] This equates to an average velocity of about Mach 2.68, including deceleration for in-flight refueling. Peak speeds during this flight were probably closer to the declassified top speed of Mach 3.2+. (For comparison, the best commercial Concorde flight time was 2 hours 52 minutes, and the Boeing 747 averages 6 hours 15 minutes.) It also holds the record of highest flown aircraft, reaching 85,000 ft
