I detest jokes - when somebody tells me one, I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn't know it's funny or doesn't treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it's a sort of rage against society.

I tend to like dry humor.

In polite society one laughs at all the jokes, including the ones one has heard before.

I like humor: the sort of gentle humor that points out human foibles.

Sometimes people get passionate about the obscure jokes.

I think very long and hard about every possibly offensive joke I want to make. I really hate mean humor and would hate to make anyone reading my jokes feel truly bad.

A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself.

Different taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.
