Can you laugh at yourself??

I laugh at myself all the time. I feel, you have no right to laugh at others if you cannot laugh at yourself. none of us are perfect y'know

Well said Bob...
 
Anyone and everything is fair game for my twisted sense of humor, including myself. Hell, I just won a gift certificate on a golf forum for posting a story about a friend of mine hitting me in the side of the face with a muddy divot.

I was in the middle of twisting my fingers into a very complicated kuji to enhance my driving skills... :uhyeah:

What is it about you that makes other people chortle or make comments that tick you off?

Can you handle laughing at the humor in the worst situations? I heard a comedian say once that even rape can be funny if you look at it right.

So what button of yours that others push have you learned to laugh at and how?


I personally could never laugh at myself. ** See Sightings thread and also Quotation Thread ** Nope I never could do that. That would be just to far of a leap for me. ;)
 
Yeah, it's lame to quote yourself, deal. I missed the editing window...

I wanted to clarify that this was referring to golf driving. My vehicular skills are just fine, check out this post (Supporting Membership required to view).
 
People (specifically those that know me well- and that's scary) usually tease me on what I say... I have a tendancy to tell people exactly what I think without giving thought into it- specifically when annoyed, and those that know me just laugh and tell me to relax. Of course I laugh back and move to something different, and apologize when necessary. When I get injured, there's a specific phrase I use (sorry- can't say it here). Last time, my co worker wasn't even facing me and said, "don't cut your finger off!" (I was cutting flowers at the time for an arrangement). I also have "foot- in mouth" syndrome, which I've displayed on this forum a few times.
 
I am quite absent minded and often find myself cracking a smile for no particular reason. It is like I cant stop thinking, so sometimes I will be thinking about a joke someone told me and laughing my *** off, and people think I am laughing for no particular reason. I can be quite clumsy at times as well. Some of the reasons my friends have "Nicked" me with the name "Rain Man".

So thats what those are called!!! I can relate to that:) , here's me thinking it was the onset of oldtimers !!

Yep. It's not oldtimers. It's brianfarts LOL

Speaking of which, I was in a production line, which I was the "catcher." I was supposed to catch the small boxes off of the line for the rest of the group (we had to fold them and put in inserts, ect), and I kept forgetting this one girl (good thing she had a sense of humor). She said "throw me a box!." I actually did. I threw it and it hit her in the arm. A minute later, I forgot about her again. She threw one back (grabbed it from someone else), and we busted out laughing. Then there was the box fight .... LOL That was SOOO much fun :D

Same here, and when asked why and can't explain because they won't get the joke! I just say it's something someone said earlier. I still get weird looks for it, though!
