I have a very good sense of humor, but it tends toward the sardonic and off-beat. Fortunately, I'm around a lot of people with a similar sense of humor.
Me too, especially the sardonic quality. I wouldn't go so far as to call my sense of humour good, I guess for me that depends on the audience. I don't joke as much as I used to, because I got the impression that people were finding it too hurtful or weird. From day to day it's mostly ironic one-liners and brief parodies about "the system" or about colleagues who are higher up in the food chain than I am.
It's hard to know whether anybody likes my humour or not. I've known people laugh and then say they don't like what I've said

There's a lot of non-genuine laughing goes on, I guess it's seen as an insult to stay deadpan after somebody's cracked a joke. I usually deliver my jokes deadpan so that it doesn't look too much like a failure if nobody laughs.
I don't tell "story" jokes - I have trouble getting to the punchline because I can't stop embellishing the storyline with unnecessary details, so everybody gets fed up. It's much the same with explaining anything.
I'd like to try my hand at being a stand-up comedian. I do some compering for the music club, so in principle all I have to do is start injecting a few one-liners into that, but so far I've limited myself to the sparing use of ad-lib comments that are (hopefully) mildly amusing but not really designed to get a big laugh.
All-time favourite stupid joke:
"I've got a theory about the Loch Ness Monster. I think it's a great big monster that lives at the bottom of Loch Ness." (Alexei Sayle)
