Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in

Summary

This quote suggests that analyzing humor takes away its essence and destroys its inherent value. Comparing it to dissecting a frog, the metaphor implies that exploring and analyzing humor may kill the very thing that makes it funny. Additionally, the "innards" or inner workings of humor might be disheartening to anyone who approaches it from a non-scientific perspective. The quote argues that humor should be enjoyed and appreciated in its natural form rather than being overly scrutinized.
