I Cannot Imagine

[douglas9401]

What it would be like to exist without a properly functioning sense of humour.

Never getting the joke or able to enjoy and contribute to the random nonsensical banter that often follows.

[davebro]

I know one or two people like that - they seem to function ok.

[douglas9401]

The 'functioning' was about the sense of humour though, not the people.

I wouldn't mock the humourily disabled.





Well I would really.

[piggynose]

that reminds me, whatever happened to our resident comedian ´Marvel´?

[Patsy33]

It helps life along, doesn't it Douglas? :-)..
I miss Marvel. She suddenly went off the radar. :-(

[Bazile]

It's funny - i can't see the point of jokes

[anneasquith]

Dougie is looking for a bit of praise from his fellow abers. ?. Re his great SOH ,!!!!

[jackthehat]

Me, either, douglas.
Strangely enough I can think of a couple of regular contributors who seem to exhibit this lack.... :o)

[andy-hughes]

The thing is, if you haven't got something, you don't know you haven't got it, so you amble along in blissful ignorance.

That works for people with a great sense of humour, a poor one, or none at all.

Andy; some people who don't have something do realise that they haven't got it - enough money to live a decent life, for instance.

[johnny.5]

Remember If you lose one sense, your other senses are enhanced.

That's why people with no sense of humour have an increased sense of self-importance

[johnny.5]

Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

[Hopkirk]

Apparently Vladimir Putin has no sense of humour.

[davebro]

It is odd - I have a friend who never gets the joke. If I tell him a joke I have to preface it with the word "joke". He doesn't seem to get irony or sarcasm either.

(but he does find "Mrs Brown's Boys" funny - which I don't at all!)

[Barsel]

Dave, I have a friend like that. Never gets anything I say that I think is funny or a joke, yet she loves Mrs Browns Boys and even went to see the show when it was doing the rounds.:-(
Must admit I only have 1 friend whose sense of humour is exactly the same as mine and this is one of the reasons we've been friends since our first day of school.

[Barsel]

By the way Doug, you always make me laugh, I definitely get your sense of humour.

[andy-hughes]

Atheist - // Andy; some people who don't have something do realise that they haven't got it - enough money to live a decent life, for instance. //

Clearly that is not what I am talking about.

Not having a sense of humour is easy to live with, and not notice, having no is not.

I am fully aware of that, and I sure that you knew I would be, which makes your point somewhat redundant.

Well said. Who wants to live in a sensible world ?.
