I'm not a naturally funny person. I have friends who actually are in The Biz of Show, one a successful-enough standup to live off of income--so I know what a natural comic is.

I'm not.

But when I'm connecting with someone it often shows up first through a mutual recognition of our sense of funny things. Language, situations. I've begun to see it as a character trait often close to home, where the truth lies. For me at least. It hasn't led me astray so far. I use it in picking Ts.
