PROMPT July 15th Describe your sense of humor. Is it dark, sarcastic, slapstick, silly, or something else? Do you have any favorite comedians? What always makes you laugh? I think that if you wonder about my sense of humor, all you have to do is visit "Smile! (Groan?) You Know You Love These!"  . That will tell you a bit about it.But I do have a decent sense of humor, it's definitely not dark, though it goes there at times. Nor is it Sarcastic, I'm not sure I can ever do that in humor. Silly? Maybe, especially with the puns I post. Slapstick? That it was, when I was a young man in his 20's. I love almost any movie with Madeline Kahn, Gene Wilder, and Marty Feldman. I was known to laugh embarrassingly loud in theaters at their movies. Young Frankenstein, The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother, and of course, Blazing Saddles. Surprisingly, I am not a fan of today's slapstick stuff, especially anything that has Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly together. I am most definitely NOT a fan of Monty Python. So what's happened to my sense of humor? I don't think I've lost it, by no means! Would you call it 'maturity'? I'd like to think not. I just don't think I can relate to most comedians of this time. Other comedians I love, and this may tell you more about me. Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Foster Brooks, and Red Skelton. I can listen to Tim Conway's Elephant story over and over, and laugh each time. Of course, these comedians are all from my time or even before my time, when I was a young man. Which should tell you I don't really care for any host of a late night show right now. Nor did I care for them in the past either. They aren't that funny, they have a skilled set of writers if you ask me. Do you hear me Jimmy Fallon? Jimmy Kimmel? Conan O'Brien? So back to my sense of humor. I think it's eclectic. What makes me laugh? It all depends on the moment and my mood. But what it isn't, is Dark or Sarcastic. Anything else is up for grabs.
