It was "social observation humor," but regardless, as much as anyone can appreciate a laugh at their own expense, it can never, ever be as funny as a joke at the expense of someone outside the crowd.<br /><br />Fortunately, my friends and audience are uniformly intelligent, mature, good natured, and have a great sense of humor.

That previous post is now missing from your website, and it leaves me wondering if this post is in connection to that one? <br /><br />I am probably considered to be in a couple of those categories you mentioned but I laughed because I thought it was a pretty funny observation. However, humor and how offended you can feel is subjective and there's many things that are too far for me (nothing you've said though) that would have others rolling in the aisles. You're right to want to improve how many times you hit your target, but don't forget that you're a funny guy and the majority of people will be too pumped after you've hit a bullseye to notice the near misses. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465448169335367056noreply@blogger.com
