I've looked in Kmart, Walmart, Walgreens, Spencers... but I just can't seem to find a decent sense of humor being sold anywhere. Any suggestions?

Ah, there's your problem. A decent sense of humor can't be bought. If you weren't lucky enough to inherit a natural talent for it from your parents, you'll have to get it the hard way: practice, practice, practice.Joseph E. Smith wrote:...

Yikes!!! That's not funny in the least... unless, perhaps, if I were killed in a cartoonish, slapstick sort of manner... you know, either a safe or grand piano being dropped on my head from the gazillionth floor of a Woolworths building.Cranberry wrote:

Could you possibly be able to share some technique hints with me? I consider you a pretty funny person and think I could learn a thing or two from your example.jsluder wrote:Ah, there's your problem.

Forget it JES. Who wants one of those crappy mainstream senses of humour anyway. Think of all the weak lowest-common-denominator sitcoms you'd have to laugh at.

For examples of humor, I suggest you check out this Billy Connolly site.
BTW, when and where did you lose your own sense of humor? Somebody might stumble across it (a prat fall, perhaps?) and return it to you.

Yeah. Those mainstream senses of humour are all controlled by the big corporations.
What you need is an indepedent sense of humour, one which the Bushes don't want you to have. Y'know, like an outrageous sense of humour.
