The Chinese Wispa joke was voted the funniest joke at the Edinburgh fringe, and I must admit it made me smile along with the other top one liners. It's a funny thing, humour, but there again I would say that wouldn't I? I wonder if there is something universally funny i.e. funny to everyone, or do we each have our own personal humour 'switches' that only respond to certain types of humour. I can't, for instance imagine my mother finding the Chinese Wispa joke that funny, which makes me think there is no such thing as universal humour. ..or maybe it's that some people don't have a 'sense of humour' what ever that means. I know that my sense of humour is well removed from my wife's, and some of my pals wonder why on earth I laugh at some things, whereupon I find some 'humour' totally crass, offensive, cruel etc. Maybe some people will think that I don't have this sense of humour, but I fool myself into thinking I see the funny side in everything - well, almost everything. I can't abide jokes that make fun of people, or try too hard to be offensive to someone or other. I'm a sensitive sole you know.
Biked to work and back yesterday, that's 80 miles or thereabouts and together with Sunday's 45 into the wind there's no wonder I was tired out last night.
