Im not going to bore everyone by repeating the 1 or 2 funny bits for the 5000th time, but i reckon he probably wrote those just cos he thought of them on the spur of the moment - he probably wasnt planning on putting any in. But when he wrote about, for example, the aule bit, he probably thought to himself how funny that tree line would be. So I dont reckon he planned any humour, but probably put some in if he thought it was clever in a sudden brainwave.
