So your think your funny?

It dawned on me this morning... I love it when people interject humor and sarcasm into the boards. Like a breath of cool air to bring down the temp of a seriously hot thread. Although I don't "know" anyone one here in RL or physical person, the comradery is amazing, but I find the written word can be misunderstood so easily. As a point of reference please be advised....

I like to joke.... I am sarcastic and seriousness is not my first face.
Anyone else wanna chime in? Where are my fellow comedians? I can think of a few but I'm not calling you out...LOL.

Laughter is the best medicine right? ....well after the ones my doc gives me LOL

Yes I agree, sometimes when I am so caught up in my head, someone will post something that will seriously make me laugh which is sometimes just what I need to lighten things.

However for me, there has to be a balance, if all the posts I received to a serious question were light hearted and funny, I think I would not feel heard or that my issue was not worthy of posting - life is always a balance isn't it.

I do kinda think I'm funny. I hope people take things in the way that I intend them. I never intend to be funny or distracting, or to make someone feel they haven't been heard. Usually, I do it to try to cheer someone up or lighten the mood.

Here's some humor for you ...

Restaurant Greeter: Oh! ... Will you be dining alone today?

Me: No, I'm here with my multiple personalities ... Would you like to meet them?

freud thought it important enough to write about - Jokes and their relation to the unconscious. Humor is a subject that has been under-researched because people didn't take it seriously! That is changing now.

Personally, we only ever watched comedy shows together as a family. so it's something that was reinforced for me. my cousin grew up watching Bonanza with her dad. We NEVER watched Bonanza!

ETA - I thought your posts yesterday were HILARIOUS!!!

ETAF - I definitely use humor as a defense? and when I am aware of it, I will try to say something about it in the post. like zoo's recent stuff about her prev T, there was a lot of conflict there that I could REALLY identify with - if your T is a flake, does it negate all your work? Because that was what my June '11 rupture was about, and what brought me to PC. I was like, who IS this guy??? What's WRONG with him??? SOaFB!!! (pardon my french!) and then that brought out the fart jokes... I'm not proud...

Some of the ones I was thinking about actually responded and I think y'all are funny too! Soup, I agree with a balance but for me I have trouble with balance sometimes and boundaries etc.... Guess that makes me unbalanced ....lol

I think a lot of people here are very funny. I definitely enjoy the humor. It helps me remember to not take things so seriously.

I love it when you make me laugh!!! I, too, like humor.

Don't know if this would be considered a joke but it made me laugh. Went to a meeting yesterday and someone said, "You know what SOBER stands for? Son of a b***h, everything's real!"
Here's to belly laughs

Thanks for making me !!!

If any of you take offense, sorry! My blind friend at church told me this last Sunday and had me cracking up! He told me a few others, too, but I can't think of them now.

A blind man goes into a store and starts swinging his seeing-eye dog over his head. The store owner asked what he was doing , and he said he was just looking around.

You've lost me this time. Who are ETA and ETAF?

Maybe I'm not funny....Snarky perhaps??

Edited To Add, Further

Humor....I love it! Takes the edge off some days. I personally think that is what is wrong with the world today. Everyone takes things too serious! Smile it keeps them guessing!! Thanks everyone!

This is funny..

Google kept sending me to Elizabeth Taylor's AIDS Foundation.

Seriously, I thought they were the initials of forum members you were quoting!

I just copied it from somebody else on here. isn't there an "abbreviations used here" thingie somewheres? you know I cain't see nuthin from my dumbphone! I have to fake reply when I want a new smilie, that's why I always use the same ones. poor me! but what's the saying, if it ain't broke, don't refactor it?
