(Non) Sense of Humor

Every time I try to write something, I have a tendency to pass through google products, to have a glimpse of what’s been the world-philosophy and how different it is from my own theories of evolution! So was the path for this, I was trying to evaluate and discriminate the sense or the non-sense of humor! Mr.Google seldom annoys me, but this time I was turning wild and screaming out loud WTF, though a while later I was laughing at the different levels of thought process. There was this link which said, does God have a sense of humor? There is this part of the milky-way galaxy which is divided into so called non-equal portions of believers and non-believers on the conceptual realization of ‘the one’. Here we have some people searching the records for statistical evidence on whether God does have a sense of humor! Now that’s funny! Someday I really want to meet at least one of the people who care to know God’s sense of humor! May be I will realize am not the only jobless in Venus.

Before being nominated for the best ever non-coherent blog of the year, let me try and resurface what I am trying to convey.

Generally I don’t like to write in this way, but to convey this I will have to exemplify my other self. The one this blog has not perceived.

Modesty is never my virtue. If you know me I would come across as a loud mouthed, opinionated pain in the posterior. But somehow I have managed to gain some positive response as well. Particularly on the sense of humor I possess (disclaimer). I used to wonder how? Are they seeing what I think they are seeing? How in the world someone would say I have a ‘decent’ sense of humor!! Impossible! In person, I would refute that from the bottom of my heart in the top of my voice! May be they don’t know what is sense of humor. Most of the time, the people around me laugh either at me or because of me. If it’s because of me it wouldn’t be at me, because I have this stupid habit of making a bunch in a big group laugh at the expense of one, and the one is usually not me. This is not a great sense of humor. The rest of the sensible in the big group would laugh at me as well as the others! Well, I have been trying to control it may be it’s a birth product and will take an eternity to vanish.

“Keep your sense of humor. As General Joe Stillwell said, "The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of his behind". Can you guess whose quote did google spat on me? For 60 mins straight I was trying to kick my own rear side for sharing this sense of humor thought process with this torch bearer for the dumbsters in this Free States. Donald ‘baccardi’sfeld!! May be even gross minds think alike. I am not sure about his thought process on this saying, but I can definitely relate myself to this. May be its because of the monkey part of it!!!

It is not that difficult to have a generic sense of humor. The basic rule of a comic sequence is to evolve through it without anybody getting hurt. As a matter of fact, it helps in different levels. “A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done”. This is executed to the highest quality if the common sense of humor is not specific.
It was during my life realization in Annamalai undergrad years when someone told me that the person with good sense of humor will mend oneself to make others laugh! Make (or find) a fool out of yourself and let the world know so they get to laugh at you. ‘It takes an irony to accept and appreciate a joke on one self’, but when you realize that was a moment of bliss for the people around you, at the expense of none, trust me it feels much better than farting loud, alone, in a closed elevator.

God does have a sense of humor. Here's an excerpt from a popular monologue.

"Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. "

Jokes apart (pardon the pun), a sense of humor is to point out the nonsense in a situation. A dying habit in these nonsensical times. Keep it up.

Completly acceptable! God might have a sense of humor! My whole point is who cares about it! It was jus funny that I cudnt help myself laughing at those prevailing habit of doing something that is completly irrelevant to the world!

btw thats a pretty apt 'satanic' monologue from the 'DA'!

Well, agreed....the nonsense in a situation can and should be pointed out at nobody's expense...! Deliver the point...do it with a bit of humor in it...and dont hurt anyone in the process!! thats the point I was trying to deliver!
