Humor

     There are as many varieties of humor, as there are bones in your body. Hopefully, one of those bones is a funny bone. Humor can be a dual edged sword, slicing off jokes as quick as a meat slicer, but other times the sword will cut to the quick with no laughter at all.

     A sense of humor is an asset in dealing with life struggles. Life is serious, but don't take it too seriously. Humor will lighten your mood in stressful times and show you a different way to look at life. Since people enjoy different types of humor it's important to know your audience and for them to know you. It's ok to push the boundaries but stay a step or two back from the edge of the cliff.

     There is dark humor, slapstick humor, vulgar humor, toilet humor, subtle humor, sarcastic humor and intellectual humor just to mention a few. Each of these will make someone laugh but not all of these will make everyone laugh. Learn to laugh at yourself and others will learn to laugh with you.

     I think we all have a humor comfort zone, some form of humor that best represents our personality. Certain types of humor tickle our funny bone, some types confuse us and other types repulse us. Find the style that suits you and stick with it. Everyone won't love it but you can't please everyone. You will notice over time others may start to appreciate your humor once they know your personality. This is a win for both of you. Enjoy it.

     Some people are serious because life is serious and being frivolous is a waste of time. Woo Hoo! Thank God, that's not me. "Just Saying..."
