Humour?

Post Reply New Topic

How is your sense of humour? If I am honest I don't get a lot of jokes .I don't laugh much but if I do it's usually at something totally ridiculous and oddball.

I tend to have a silly sense of humor sometimes.

A dry, subtle sense of humor other times.

My sense of humor is not especially sophisticated most of the time.

Well, I just sent this to Kraft foods on their website after posting it in something random to say, here;
There's something wrong with this bottle of salad dressing, the oil keeps being separated when I go to use it.
I'm following the directions to the letter - "Shake well before using".
I shook it last week.
Maybe I should shake it a month before using?

I appreciate humour, it's a great quality to be able to make somebody laugh. I don't really make any jokes of my own but my mum and I both have a love of really terrible puns.

Really terrible puns are an art form in and of themselves.

What Mr. Kites is doing, in this instance, is making fun of ambiguity.

"Shake well before using" could mean:

Shake WELL (i.e., thoroughly) before using

or:

Shake WELL BEFORE using (i.e., at last a rather distant time before using.

A very common sort of linguistic humor.

Yep! It will be interesting to see what if any response comes back from Kraft. I've been pondering doing that for a couple decades and finally today was in the mood to actually take action on it.
I love words, they are one of my favorite toys.
And it is my firm belief that the leading cause of insanity in this country is the English language.

I think I have a good sense of humour , not very quick witted , and I don't think I'm that funny although my GF thinks I'm hilarious ( I think she's an Aspie ) . The Simpsons cartoon is something that I can guarantee will make me laugh and give me echolalia traits , I usually have to repeat most things Homer says and sometimes for days , weeks and in one case years. I just can't get this saying out of my head.

I love Dark Humor.

Like the child who thought that the grown ups in church were all singing about "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear".

That same child was at a funeral and heard the priest say "In the name of the father , the spirit and into the hole he goes"

One time we had a jolly dinner guest who poured himself a glass of milk from a carton, and then noticed the "shake before drinking" notice. He looked at his glass of mostly cream, smiled, shook, and drank.

The kid was factually accurate, gotta give 'em credit for that! Be it 6 feet under or a crematory door, it is a hole and they are going in.

There was a child who thought the TV show "The Young and Restless" was called "The Young and Rest of Us".

personal humor is probably best described by whatever brand this is^

I have a sense of humor. I'm pretty selective about what I think is funny though
On the giving end I'm told my humor is quirky and or dark.
