Poll question: Do you think you have a better sense of humor than other people?
Be honest. Elaborate in your replies.

1. Better than probably 50M or more
Not many conservatives with a better sense of humor, IMO, and none that I have ever personally met. On my hometown's internet message board the conservatives regulars who post there never reply on the more humorous threads, and most are unable to take a joke.

2. When I needle people here it's always with humor
I am after all not a titan of power.

36. "I hope you're joking"
This is internet code for "I don't have a sense of humor and I might be just a little stoopid."




PS, you're a tight'un, huh?

6. If you are going to call women whores, you might as well add me to your

4. Not necessarily better, definitely different.
I have what is usually termed a dark sense of humor. Many on this site might consider it sick. I often hold back when I'm here.

5. I'd have to say yes, because I'm not into "humor" which causes harm to others,
Edited on Wed Feb-18-09 01:17 AM by Fire Walk With Me
especially systematically. I find such things to be utterly Republican in nature, and we know what they are.

Edit: Sometimes I'm dark, but that's survival.

8. I have the same humor ethos as you.
Generally, I like my humor to be cartoonish and absurd rather than belittling of others. And I definitely have a dark side, as well.

Think Goon Show and EC horror comics.

13. I think my sense of humor is better than many persons I know.
and better than some persons I don't know.

But I have a lot of friends who have the same type sense of humor that I do and we do have a lot of fun together.

Some folks just aren't gonna get it no matter what, you know

24. Well, I've been told I'm funny, so I guess yes.
I do find humor in most situations. Life's too short.

25. I used to have a good sense of humour. Now I wonder if it wasn't just
the friends I had who were funny. I can definitely be funny with funny person. But in the last few years I haven't been funny at all. I think it is the drugs I am on.

30. I crack myself up. That's all I need.
I don't need anything else, just this ashtray.

...and this paddle game. The ashtray and the paddle game and that's
all I need. And this remote control....

31. i think i've got a pretty good sense of humor
it tends to be darker than other people i know, but a lot of people tell me i'm pretty funny. it's a big change from ten years ago when i was one of the most serious people i knew.

35. In real life, yes. On the internet apparently I'm a real asshole
Too dry. If you can't flash a charming smile after a off color comment, it tends to come across as just being mean to strangers.

For some reason I have to relearn this lesson every couple of weeks or so.
