The idea is ridiculous. Dan Aykroyd has aspergers. I personally have a great sense of humor, and I use sarcasm/joking as a way to get judge NT's feelings about things.

he compensates better than most of us, by having a genius-level IQ. sheer brainpower can overcome a lot.

I don't have a genius IQ---I have a pretty good sense of humor. It's not even subtle.

sorry, I was having a bit of fun at the expense of the thread title, IOW I said something deliberately unfunny (aforementioned sentence [modified by me for this forum] used by some math teachers to illustrate something about logic, AFAICT) to try to prove how lacking in humor I was ;)

Your post has now become funny thus disproving your lack of humour :wink:

btw, I looked all over the web for the exact meaning behind that sentence but failed, somebody else on this forum a while ago explained the meaning of the Martian radar thing but I forgot what it was. :scratch:

I think I have a great sense of humor. I am often told I'm funny and I enjoy hanging out and talking to people who can make me laugh.

Might it have something to do with radar analysis of Mars revealing frozen layers at the poles - possible evidence of glacial events ?

I'm not surprised. Whenever an NT who I don't know tries to make a joke at me, it's usually not funny at all, so I don't know why they would expect me to laugh.

I imagine a doctor trying to get me to laugh would probably have the same results, and assume that I have no sense of humor.

Maybe they should try a little more slapstick or something. I think I would at least crack a smile if they took a pie or two to the face.

what I was able to retain in my noodle, was it had to do with a type of logic process, designed to root out an error in logical thought. I don't believe the instructor who used it was thinking extra-terrestrially in this case. :alien:

If a doctor did slapstick, he'd probably stick his/herself with a hypodermic needle.

I can't count the number of times I've gone walking and stepped into a pile of dog$#!+ hidden in the grass, and exclaimed "OH $#!+! !"

speaking of choking on tongue depressors, I could tell you a funny story [NOT funny at the time :oops: ] when I was kid in the dentist's chair and the hygienist was brutal with sticking her hand in my mouth and I gagged and barfed on her hand, and she angrily shouted "YOU'RE A BAD BOY!!" loud enough for everybody to hear.
