My wife absolutely loves my "sense of humor" type of personality, but we've seen some older folks, mainly ladies, that sure didn't see my humor as funny. But, then again, my wife knows that sarcasm and belligerency can be a part of my humor and it doesn't bother her at all. She can be quite humorous at times as well. Our "sense of humor" is the reason why we can watch tv shows like Mash, Last Comic Standing, Last Man Standing, Mysteries of Laura. Movies like Get Smart, Weekend At Bernie's, To Paris With Love and other moves like them. Just recently we rented/watched the movie, St. Vincent w/Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy. There were parts of this movie that were simply hilarious and we laughed our butts off.
Than, there are those, like my MIL (RIP) that had very little-to-no sense of humor at all. I remember when I met my wife, she was sharing a 2-bedroom apartment with her mom. For a year, before we married, I lived with my wife and her mom. I distinctly remember a few times when the three of us were watching tv in the living room, something really funny would come on and her mom just sit in her chair and starred at the tv. Not a single giggle came out of her. Wife and I would be laughing like mad and I told my wife later, "I wonder if we are laughing because of what's on tv or because of how your mom is being?" She said, "probably both", with a smile.
So, how much of a "sense of humor" do you have? I know, by some of the threads that are on this forum, there are some members with BIG TIME "sense of humor" in them.

My humor, my sensibilities aren't quite like every other person either. But some people do get me right away and some don't. My sense of humor I would say is part of my survival. I much rather laugh, see the humor in many of life's experiences having seen and experienced some of the worse. I can spin most of what ails me into humor and for me that's a good thing. It doesn't work everyday of every minute, but it works most days and for that, I'm grateful for my sense of humor. I rather laugh at me than laugh at other's misfortunes and if I can make them laugh with me, that's even better.
