Have humour?

I don’t see much on the forum to be honest..apart from @Lambano ..I think he’s French though LOL.

Then there’s @St. SteVen ... who I believe is Irish LOL.

How about you @David in NJ ..do you have fun humour, childlike humour?

My humour is out, and it’s taking over..can you actually laugh at yourself?

Not everyone gets my humour and it has landed me in trouble at times.

God blessed with humour I believe..
Most Americans have a sense of humor I think.

I certainly have a sense of humor. I sometimes see the humor in things that others might not!

Have you seen The Happy Thread in the non-Christian Help forum? It's funny, I go there daily.

I think I have a good sense of humour. I think when one loses their sense of humour things go downhill fast for them. I think I see what you're saying though because many Americans seem to have lost their sense of humour. ALways snapping at each other for the most part. I think the difference between men & women is when men lose their sense of humour they usually clam up and become quiet, whereas most American women, when they lose their sense of humour, they lash out at people, and boy do American women like to talk. They have taken to (most of them, not all of them) getting offended about every little thing. Oh, woe are they! He attacked me with his humour, lol!

That's the funny thing about humour. Take any joke, any joke you have ever heard. If you examine the humour, within the humour, these is a wrongness or a hurt to someone on some level.
Did you see my friend fall in the mud puddle?! Classic! Lol! Good one friend! Except, he is insulted and embarrassed and I call attention to it making him a focus of the butt end of the joke. That's not nice.

But it was funny before I made the joke when he first slipped and fell down. It's some sort of natural reaction that happens that makes us laugh. But if my friend had slipped and fell into a wood chipper there is no laughter then so the reaction is one of horror and compassion because they guy got hurt. So why is one funny and not the other? Well because they (Used to! Lol) teach little boys to be a man and stand up and fight in a heartbeat! Shake it off boy, no you dont show compassion for your friend wo fell down in the puddle, you laugh! And if someone tries to help you up, you push them away, Oh I'm ok leave me alone....and they may laugh thru the embarrassment.

And doesn't that sound weird to you? We're learning as Brothers &Sisters in Christ that love and compassion are admirable traits, even Godly traits. Love is the most powerful force in the universe and they taught us all backwards how to react, fight, kill, hate, destroy, take that! And now that man has been introduced to death and hatred first, no wonder we have to become as little children again to learn Love & Compassion.

But some stuff just makes us bust out laughing. They aint hurt that bad and that was funny! Why is that a natural reaction? Is it our sin nature at the heart of it? Or could it be some sort of (Godly) safety valve that stops us from going insane while living in an insane world?

I am not of this world but I am in this world, so it could be either one and I just havent figured it out yet. Is humour good or bad at it's core? It seems bad, but it also seems good in a way because it might be that humour is a spiritual safety valve that kicks in to allow us to detach from the wrongness in a light hearted way...I can see a lot of good in humour. (Jesus has a great sense of humour!) If life had no ability to see the lighter side and laugh, it would be 100% sorrow, and how can one learn to love and about love when they are constantly grieving?! There has to be a balance I think. So I vote that humour is good.

Me too Sister, me too. People used to say I was funny, but times they are a changing and everything is about I'm offended now. So even though I still have my sense of humour, lots of people dont get it anymore.

I think you have a good sense of humour. You have to have though, did you hear what so and so just said?! Lol! I think all American girls have lost their sense of humour.It's weird though, American women don't have a good sense of humour and lots of men do. Since most women dont get my humour and want to squabble I try to tone it down some and focus more on the Lord because time is short. Too short for thin skinned women who only have strife and contention. Sometimes it takes a sense of humour to stand them, lol!

That's curious.
What is it about me that makes you think I'm Irish?

Here's a joke about a Brit and and American.

The two were going for a drive in the Brit's MG.
The American commented that there was a bug splattered on the windshield.
The Brit objected to it be called a windshield. "It's a windscreen!" he retorted.
The American said, "It's a windshield; we invented the automobile."
To which the Brit replied, "It's a windscreen; we invented the language."

My sense of humour is out on a limb. Will a two way cutting saw fix it?....or is that reserved for when speaking out of both sides of your mouth only fools the talkers.

I like this one.....

One day a group of Darwinian scientists got together and decided that man had
come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one Darwinian to go and
tell Him that they were done with Him.

The Darwinian walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer
need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous
things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man. After the Darwinian was done
talking, God said, "Very well, how about this? Let's say we have a man-making
contest." To which the Darwinian happily agreed.

God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days
with Adam."

The Darwinian said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a
handful of dirt.

God looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!!!!"
