…. it appears that, after a spasm of red down votes, Herr Fausto has run out of excuses to not answer the incredibly simple questions asked over, and over, and over … which he refuses to address.
He also appears to have run dry on the alternative of vicious ad-hominem attacks in lieu of a coherent reply.
Perhaps “..low down reprobate rotten scum sucking pig” can be worked into the conversation ….
Years ago I went to a Renessiance Faire where they had sword fighting, Shakespearian Plays, jousting, etc. and I paid a costumed professional insulter $5 to insult me. He blistered me up and down and sideways for about 5 minutes!
I was in awe of his proficiency.
With Fausto … he needs to keep his day job.
Wellllll …. all humor has to have some basis in truth (for the “setup”, and spin your head around with an absurdity at the end, to be funny! If you have heard a joke before, it’s often not funny. The exception is my jokes, which I repeat quite often, because they are ALWAYS funny, to me. Sometimes my humor is just for me, but I enjoy it, so there you go!
One reason it is almost impossible to insult me, is if as an example, you called me “… a low down scum sucking pig”, by the time I finished visualized that, I might be laughing at Porky on the ground with a frog stuck in the end of his scum straw!, with caved in cheeks and bulging eyes.
This has many benefits, and almost always involves being naturally happy, competent and self-sufficient.
AAAaaand … it costs nothing.
Humor, I have found is always the characteristic of an active mind, because the “punch line” necessitates a person having a clear mental picture of the “setup”, or when the twist, or “punch line” is delivered, you get that dumb “deer-in-the-headlights” look of incomprehension.
As an aside … the reason deer stand in the middle of the road at night, staring at oncoming headlights until they get hit and killed, is they are thinking … “ …. hmmm … is that a Toyota or a Mazda?”.
BANG!!
I think humor is or is not funny, depending on your life experiences, and ability to visualize.
I felt sorry for a man who had no shoes …. until I met a man who had no feet. Or a cow skiing down a powder snow slope …. and hitting a tree!
