I'm sorry but this is funny. A humor question.

[chic]

Do you ever find yourself almost apologizing for something you find funny these days because of censorship and the fact that we have lost our ability to really laugh at ourselves.
For me not too much. I'm getting used to the fact that we're not supposed to laugh at certain things anymore and that is just someone else's loss. I'd never laugh at disabled people but everything else I can pretty much see the humor.

How about you Do you laugh less? Why? Let's share our reasons.

Don't drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill some. (Not amusing to the mother of a victim of a drunk driver.}

Yeah. But if I wave at a guy who has no hands, would that come off as kind of bragging on my part?

 

[Beezer]

Q: What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs hanging on a wall?

A: Art

I'm mentally disabled per say... I have schizophrenia. But I still enjoy a great laugh. My favorite Mental Health joke?

Doctor: "Do any of your other family members suffer from mental illness?"

Patient: "No. They all seem to enjoy it."

Insanity doesn't run in my family. Rather, it takes its time and strolls through slowly, getting to know everyone intimately.

I still laugh at something even if others do not approve...... life is too short to placate everyone else.

 

[oldaunt]

No. No one gets to tell me if I feel something is funny or not.

Warner Bros. "Looney Tunes"back in the 40's/50's had people laughing at characters like Elmer Fudd with his speech impediment, Porky Pig who stuttered badly and Sylvester the Cat who lisped uncontrollably.

I enjoyed those cartoons very much. Mel Blanc who did the voices was a genius. I never felt I was laughing at the WAY they spoke but rather at the funny things they did in the cartoons.

Any comedian will tell you that comedy has to be true. So, as long as there's truth in the joke, there nothing you can't make fun of. Ah, dead baby jokes As if you never told a Helen Keller joke.

During a holiday dinner I argued against the law that requires car-seats for infants.

When I said "I mean, it's not like you saw thousands of dead babies all over the roads until someone said 'There ought to be a law'," everyone chuckled except my oldest son's wife. She went into the bathroom to cry.

I went in and apologized, and we hugged and all that, and I haven't used sarcasm around her since.

[PeppermintPatty]

I laugh at just about anything.
