Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 There is a song the title of which is "What the World needs now is Love" wrong!!!I think what the world needs now is a sense of humour and the ability and intelligence to determine when someone is making a joke. I know it is difficult for some people to read internet posts as humourous as they are not face to face with the joker therefore cannot judge the intonation in his/her speech or actually see the smile on their faces. There are differences in humour from culture to culture, I was severely taken to task on an Americam forum for using the Southern States expression of "Y'all" which I used jokewise with some of my friends in North Carolina, but people had not the intelligence to realise that I was employing my sense Lancastrian humour. Life is far to short not to have a sense of humour, lighten up people you're a long time dead

I COULD NOT HAVE PUT THIS DOWN BETTER MYSELF HYACINTH, HUMOUR AND INTELLIGENCE GO HAND IN HAND , YOU NEED ONE TO MAKE THE OTHER AND WITHOUT ONE YOU CANNOT SEE THE OTHER, EVERYBODY CAN BE FUNNY AT SOMETIME BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A MODICUM OF ACUMEN TO SEE THE HUMOUR PART OF IT
Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 CAN YOU NO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR WITHOUT BEING CLEVER :-/
Tony C Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Well there you have it folks, if someone fails to make you laugh its because you have a lower IQ than them. There was me thinking they just weren't funny, ya live and learn.
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 CAN YOU NO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR WITHOUT BEING CLEVER :-/ NOBODY SAID YOU HAVE TO BE CLEVER CLOCKIE IT JUST MEANS SOME THINGS ARE HUMEROUS AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE INTELLIGENCE TO SEE IT AS BEING FUNNY BECAUSE AT FIRST GLANCE IT MIGHT NOT LOOK THAT WAY, NOTHING TO DO WITH IQ'S OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT

THIS IS NOT THE CASE TONY, NOTHING TO DO WITH IQ'S OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVERYBODY SEE'S THING'S DIFFERENTLY AND WHAT IS FUNNY TO SOME MAY NOT BE FUNNY TO OTHER'S, JUST WHEN SOMETHING IS BLATANTLY MEANT TO BE A JOKE AND 99% OF PEOPLE SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS, A JOKE
