Do You Have A Sense Of Humour ?

[Anatta]

Kia Ora,

Well I started with the 'smiler' poll...You can check it out here

Then onto the 'hugs' poll... You can check it out here

https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,137946.0.html

So now it's the 'sense of humour' poll...

I personally believe that having a 'healthy' sense of humour is vital when it comes to surviving life's little ups and downs...

It helps to ease tension- can at times defuses volatile situations
It's a good stress and strain relaxant
It's contagious
It can makes others feel good
It can be an instant fix where the laughter generated  releases a flood of feel-good chemicals in the brain...
And it stops life becoming full of seriousness and urgency

Admittedly at times my sense of humour might come across as slightly warped, like seeing the funny side of a serious situation that I might find myself in...

However for the most part it's healthy=I laugh at other people, their jokes,[not at their misfortune] at myself...There's always something to laugh about even during ones 'transition' ...

So, what's your sense of humour like ? 

Or is life way too busily  serious to find any spare time to have a laugh ?

In addition to having a good sense of humour, I also think it's kinda required in order to transition without losing your marbles. If I didn't have it, I'd have gotten lost along the way - it has meant that I could laugh at things that otherwise might have hurt me..

Nah, don't have a sense of humour, that's well known.

Yes indeedy! Nice of you to recognise it. Rumour has it that it colours our lives and adds a certain flavour to our experiences. It also helps us behave in a more neighbourly fashion towards one another. All part of the interesting theatre of life. But let's not labour the point.

Personally, I tend to savour it.

Not really but give me a red hot poker and I can show you a good time.

Have been told I am slightly evil...

Nice post! We're clamouring for more! Hugs, Devlyn

I doubt anyone could survive this ridiculous world without one

Kia Ora,

I was just thinking, if you were to actually hear me pronounce "Humour" it would sound something like this "U-ma"... 'H' has been dropped from  the Cockney alphabet ...

I have a sense of U ma !

My sense of humor is absolutely terrible. I spend more time poking fun of everything in the world than I do breathing.

Superfluous letters.  We are no long in the 18th century!

American and British English spelling differences

Kia Ora Jamie,

I don't know what daught means, but it sounds good enough for me -I'm easy-[some would say too easy]

Metta Zenda

[Anatta]

Me too.

Kia Ora Kkut,

Do you speak Cockney too ?

Kia Ora Jamie,

I don't know what daught means, but it sounds good enough for me -I'm easy-[some would say too easy]

Metta Zenda

Phonetically daught (sic) = "daft".  It is a concocted spelling, as was hijacke.

Kia Ora Jamie,

I thought as much, but I'm happy with that  Mind you I think it was a daft thing to do though...

[Anatta]

Oh no, but I tend to speak Cockeyed when I drink too much. I'm certain any other relation or connection to other cocks is purely coincidental.

Kia Ora Kkut,

Cor Blimey! and there I was thinking Ah finally someone who speaks my language...But I guess being drunk and speaking Cockeyed is close enough

Not only do I have an incredible sense of humour, but I have the sort of sense of humour that made people like Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Carol Burnett famous.

I can be extremely funny, and never ONCE require being crude, rude, or foul languaged to do it.

As far as I am concerned, the moment you resort to swearing, your marks drop 50%. If you require a swear word every second sentence, not only are you not funny, you're not even particularly intelligent.

I have great respect for Robin Williams, because he to me is the pinnacle of the skill, in that he can use his skill to make you laugh and just as easily use it to show the insanity of a situation and make you cry.

I've watched a lot of war movies in my life time, the best one was Good Morning Vietnam.
It takes a skilled comic to show the world the truth of that war. It was clearly the dumbest war the US ever got involved with.
It was full of insane, and only a comic could really do it properly.

This is not going to look good on my resume!!

I should add, life has made it very hard to laugh since 1994 when I saw most of my life roll over and die.

Anime gave me back my life. It's why anyone saying anything unkind towards anime, likely just spit in my hot chocolate.

[Brooke777]

No! I never laugh, or smile, or have any fun!

BLEH!!
