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

Very few things are totally devoid of any possibility of humor. If you are aware of that possibility and alive to the scene becoming that way, then it just happens naturally.

Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth.
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
