I can honestly say that being a member of /b/ has destroyed or enhanced my sense of humor.

I don't really like the usual jokes such a bar jokes. I like jokes that are politically incorrect. I can't justify why I find jokes about poverty, hunger, racism, sexism and so on funny. 

 

Perhaps Sickipedia has influenced me too.

I consider anything and everything fair game.  It can all be funny.  Of course, I'm an old school /b/tard so, yeah....

To a degree, yes, I guess. I'm fine with most jokes as long as they aren't relentlessly being thrown at me. When you go on for ten minutes, I get tired of it. But I allow people to joke about my Asperger's to some degree, etc.

I once told my ex that if I should die off, I wanted her to sell all my stuff.

"Why?" She asked me.

"Because I'm sure you'll re-marry, and I don't want some other asshole using my stuff," was my reply.

"Who says I'm going to marry another asshole?"

Why couldn't Hellen Keller drive? Because she was a woman :)

OR

I like my women like I like my coffee.... ground up and in the freezer!

Hell, I even laugh about this one:

What is white and yellow and at the bottom of the pool? A baby with slashed floaties.

What is red and yellow and at the top of the pool? Floaties with a slashed baby.

My humor has no boundaries.

O and I have one more: What is the difference between 100 dead babies and a ferrari? I don't have a ferrari in the garage.

How did Helen Keller burn her face? Answering the waffle iron.

I heard it like this:

How did Helen Keller burn her ear? She answered the iron.

How did she burn her other ear? They called back.

But these jokes don't make sense to me because she was deaf. She wouldn't have heard a phone ringing.

Not only is your version better, it's actually funnier.

I tried so hard not to laugh as to not wake up my girlfriend. Failed.

But we don't all laugh at all humor. I doubt I'd laugh much at racial jokes by the KKK, or Jewish jokes by Nazis. But closer to home, we don't all think the same stuff is funny. I guess I'm pointing that out because it's interesting how different our humor can be. It's especially different across different generations. I don't like slapstick, but have friends who do.

My humor also changes over time. Here is my favorite humor at the moment:

 

NO MORE DEATH PANELS

  PALIN-SCHIAVO 2012!

 

Regarding Reverend Jerry Falwell's death, I once heard Christopher Hitchens say "If you gave the man an enema, you could fit him into a matchbox".

 

(I guess, sadly, my favorite humor these days may be religious-political.)

Lately, I'm not as much into jokes, as I am actual situational comedy.

On my blog, I've been sharing an exchange between myself and a Nigerian email scammer.

I'm hoping to get under his skin, and make him waste massive amounts of time.

Problem is, it's not funny enough yet, because we're both being so nice. That, and the fact that I'm not so much "funny" as I am "weird."

I may have to threaten his herd of goats soon.

Like I said, I'm not really what you might consider "funny." I'm hoping to just get him angry at me, or extremely uncomfortable. I'm open to suggestions from readers. Please pardon the advertising, if you happen to visit.

ask him if he's related to Nelson Mandella, because he owes you five bucks from 11 1/2 years ago, and you really want it back.
