An excellent topic Merlin!!!
Thank you for bringing it up here!!!!
And I absolutely LOVE the way all of you described your “senses of humor!!!”
~ considering “humor” ..... Hmmmmm .....
To tell you the truth I always feel like those scenes from the old Star Trek shows ... where Mr Spock was forever saying things like ....
“humor ... it is a difficult concept” ....
~ thinking again ~
Or was it “Data” .... from the Newer Star Treks that said that?
Well .... who ever said it .... the message is definitely me!!!
I'm guilty of being overly sensitive, and I take everyone's words straight to the heart.
And I’m like Boo, in that it always seems to take me longer then most to “get” the punch line to anything ... but unlike Boo .... I don’t have any great excuses.
Except that .... erm ... ~ thinking ~ ... maybe being “Native American” has something to do with my “seriousness” ... and seemingly “lack” of humor.
It is true that ....having visited extensively with Merlin .... I have to admit here ....
There are lots of times that his .... erm ....
“harsh” (???) ... sense of humor often escapes me.
And in our conversations ....
I find myself sometimes taking immediate offense to some of the things said.
LmaoOOOoooo ... fortunately for me ...
Merlin is way laid back ... and he seems to have never ending patience, when it comes to my quick “temper” and “tantrum” flashes.
I’m pretty sure that most everyone who knows me ... knows that I’m planning to spend some time in “Belfast” ... for a work related project.
To tell you all the truth .... it worries me more then just a little bit .... that Merlin is forever telling me that “his kind of humor” ... is simply typical of the Northern Irish.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeks ......
~ shaking head here ~
I think I’m going to have some trouble.
