I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

The key to humor is often self-loathing or sarcasm. In a sense, that's how self-loathing is made palatable.

Writing humor is not something every single person can do.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.

One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.

If you don't have humor, you're not going to make it. You're going to be one of those people who walks around with your head about to explode.

It's very hard to write humor.

The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.
