SodaHead - What's Bubbling in Your Head?
Is it ok to find humor in everything? Should comedy have limits? Is there something wrong with finding laughter in pain?
After being called sick for many years because of my dark sense of humor, I thought this would be an interesting question.-

Yes, there is a joke out there for everything. I am always looking for something to joke about everywhere I go. One of the many things I do is make up my totally own lists. Lists of prestigious jobs(Monitor Gas Production for Beano, Inc. and Bow and Arrow Stretcher for cupid.. Lists of jobs I quit. I laid to rest my casket maker's job and as a brain surgeon I couldn't keep an open mind.
I try to make up a dumb question every day. For example: Why do people cry when they are happy but don't laugh at something sad. If a person has half a brain they can see a lot of humor and I definitely have half a brain. -

I think even when it comes to death in the family, even then laughter sooths the heart and soul. When you remember the good times and the funny things the deceased person did, it always makes everyone feel better. Laughter has a way of healing the pain. -

Brady969....whadda dew? Been awhile..ay..stick to you humar man..its wonderful! I appreciate it. And for those who cannot handle it, there is always the Laurence Welk show repeats that they can watch...
Sick sense of humor is needed in this life..oh, and If I could, I would quit my job and become an insult comic focusing on politically un-correct stuff..starting a movement to get us all back on track.
Unfortunatley, I have a terrible thing that happens at funerals..I at times start laughing...I have learned to make it look like I am crying..by cuping my hands over my face and excusing myself from the room....people often think..man..Dave is shook up...I don't know what it is????

Imagine if everyone just laughed pain off...imagine the world we would live in! If someone can laugh from my pain....more power to them. -

As the makers of southpark said, and this is NOT an EXACT quote, but conveys the point, "We refuse to draw a line. Everything is subject to being made fun of. Once you draw a line, you start to discriminate because some things are off limits and some are not."
If you can't laugh at yourself, you shouldn't be laughing at other people. Evreyone needs to take a chill pill... -
raves +2 Oct 07, 2008 03:44PM GMTWell put and I agree 100%. Knowing that not everyone knows how to laugh at themself nor wishes to laugh at their pain, I'm still carefull when it comes to making jokes around those people. I wish everyone could laugh at their pain and others pain...the world would be a happier place!

Laughter is a natural way to relieve stress. It is not that you have no compassion or empathy, but the fact that humor is the way your psyche handles situations that make no sense to the sane. It comes down to how people laugh when they see someone fall- it makes them feel in control for the moment until they can wrap their head around the situation. Seeing humor or laughing is totally different then finding suffering and pain and violence as enjoyment. To some it may seem cold, but it is natural. -

I laugh at a lot of things I've been told I shouldn't. Sorry life is funny. People don't laugh enough and sometimes pain is funny. Shit, I even laugh half the time when I'm in pain. Ever notice how laughter and tears are so close to one another?
