Anyone here lack a sense of humour?

i've never had trouble with irony or sarcasm, or the time it takes me to understand attempts at humour of any description. one thing i have noticed is that if something's really nasty it's usually hilarious to me, and perhaps the ultimate type of humour for me is hearing about situations or speculated situations that i can imagine happening. i also find simple terms that remind me of humorous things quite amusing.

one thing i noticed when i started making friends at college and uni was that although i appreciated a witty remark or retort for being so, it wouldn't make me laugh that much. that's still the case, especially when i'm in the company of people i consider smarted or wittier than myself; it kinda leaves me thinking, I'm such a gimp, why can't i compete with him/her? which is quite funny i guess i dunno, perhaps i can conclude that subtleties just aren't my thing.

a couple of the things that make me laugh most are referring to this unsavoury, obscenely promiscuous girl i once knew as 'the syphilitic slut'; picturing this friend of a friend indulging his fetish for feather dusters; when Father Jack says banal or logical things, like 'I'm elvis', 'got out' while motioning with his hand.

This bothers me because I'll laugh at something that's considered inappropriate and not laugh sometimes at all on something that's suppose to be funny.

I don't really have a different sense of humour, but I do have a hard time getting things at times. I'll see a joke written up somewhere, and not get it. I'll leave. About a week later, I'll be sitting in class bored, and all of a sudden: "OH! I get it!"

According to an online test, I scored an 8 out of 160 or so possible points--showing I had none to very little sense of humor (0-9 points) .

I found the results laughable. Me laughing at the results proved I had a sense of humour.



My most favorite kind of humor is one where play on words, puns, etc. are used. I have a thing for the most offending and absurd.

Yes, I'll go on the record to say, I may not always catch another person's jokes yet, I'm quite capable of finding something funny cause one of my favorite comedians is Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy as well others too and I'm able to clearly identify the humor in their performances..
