What makes you laugh?

What makes you laugh?

This topic ought to get people distracted on happy things.My question is:

What makes you laugh? A good movie? Something silly? Lets get it out and get some laughs.

I love stand up comedy.We all need a good laugh.A funny movie will always do me well.Laughing at inappropriate things at times.(hey,we all do it whether you admit it or not).Funny pets now they made me laugh.Reading a good how to book thats written deliberately with a sense of humour.A good example is a book I bought called "How to chat up women" By Stewart Ferris.One of the funniest books I ever read.

I bought the short version then read it then bought the long version.What a laugh.I kept the book.

I love sitting at the piano when I'm feeling cheery and make up words to songs for fun.I'll write about some funny things our group of friends did/said.

Its over to all of you.The question is,what makes you laugh?

Thanks.

Chris.

He reminds mW a bit of Ben Elton in the 1980s, sometimes way too earnest.. But I live his passion!

Re: What makes you laugh?

I'm like you I've got what I call a weird sense of humour. I've also worked in aged care and can totally understand that type of humour. I've listened to some of the conversations I've had with a fellow nurse working in a residents room and imagined how someone outside the closed door might take it. eg talking about opening the legs,

Re: What makes you laugh?

I think that MI alone tends to bring out a dark streak in our humour, I have noticed that many, myself included, use humour not only as a defense but as a gauge, make a joke about your illness and watch how people react, those who embrace your comment will have a far better understanding of your world than those who get defensive or tell you not to say such things. I was once accused by a Nurse at a party that I was horrible to say such things, that clearly I had no idea of MI as anyone who did would not make jokes about insanity. Never assume it makes an ass out of u and me.
