So, what kind of a sense of humor do you have?
I, unfortunately, have a very twisted, demented, and sometimes cruel one.

I laugh at things that are inappropriate, and can make a joke out of damn near any situation.

So I offer apologies to any that I have offended in the past, and any who will be offended in the future.

Love,
Dave Reynolds

p.s. Show me some more neon boobies.

1. I liked your
"at the drop of a ball gag" line.

Not sure if my sense of humor is as twisted as yours, but... it's probably close.

3. Close counts,
and I try to be mostly tolerable in public...mostly......:hi:

I have found more disgusting midwesterners than any other region, so it's nice to know we twisteds are more widespread.

2. Strange, twisted, off the wall, sometimes very dark
The type that no one else ever seems to "get". I get a lot of quizzical looks.

5. My problem is delivery,
I sound serious even though I rarely, if ever, am.

Those random thoughts that just pop out sometimes confuse people, don't they?

4. Mine is obscure...
I'll make jokes and references that I'm certain are mainstream, only to have everyone look at me in abject confusion.

Put it this way: I judge my friends' humour on whether they love or hate "Harold and Maude".

I know the premise of the movie, just never procured a copy to view.

22. I notice that people can't tell when I'm joking, sometimes.
I'm not really what you could call extroverted at the best of times, so if people WERE avoiding me I probably wouldn't notice.

I have tried to master the art of subtlety. One of my favorite quotes is, "Subtlety is the art of saying something and getting out of the way before it is understood."

I laugh at my own stupidity and faults so much, I forget that not everyone else does.

Satire is my favorite, especially the ones that have me half-believing for a minute...

Although it is getting less prevalent.

Maybe someday I'll grow up, but since I am approaching 42 I am beginning to doubt that.

It's another thread, but my dentist said I had strong lips today. I'm still :rofl: at that one. And I don't even think he noticed just how funny that was. I had to work hard not to bust out laughing right there in the chair today.

51. my sister said I was a peacemaker
that I would try to make a joke out of situations when her daughters were fighting.

But how do I know what kind of sense of humor I have. It might depend on my mood. Everything's funnier on the weekend.
You should find a link to a quiz that will define and classify senses of humor. There's got to be a few out there.

63. Judging from the response I get on DU when I try to be funny
I am thinking my sense of humor is either really obscure or I am just not humorous one bit.

Typically I guess I have a wide variety of humor. It can range from very dark and almost to the point of macabre all the way to laughing my ass off at the Naked Gun movies. I usually have the people around me laughing and I am able to adjust my wit to the crowd I am in. For some reason I don't do too well in print though.

68. A sense of humor is my only defense to a direct link between
my ears and my mouth. I appear to be missing a the 'brain detour' between the two:

Hear something.

Reply.

Hear reply.

Say to self: "Holy Shit! Did I just say that?"

I have found that by employing a sarcastic sense of humor (raising sarcasm to an art, in fact) it is possible to avoid the worst social pitfalls raised by this genetic oversight. Because, no matter how serious I may be with the original comment, people assume I'm joking. I cannot tell you how many times over the years that has saved my ass in a social setting....
