Quoting fulcrum72:

As I skip through the postings, one thing I've noticed again and again is that almost everybody has a good sense of humour. We all must be one funny bunch -- what comic wouldn't want us in their audience?

Humour also seems to be a highly desirable trait in our "match/friend" section, with honesty running a close second.

Strange how there seems to be an abundance of humour, yet we're all looking for it. I know I'm guilty of it -- if you check out my profile, I placed the obligatory "sense of humour' in the "about me" section. I believe, however, that I am a somewhat humourous guy -- I think I've made at least 10 different people laugh some form of liquid through their nose at one point in time.

I can see why humour is so coveted. It feels good to laugh. Hell, it feels great to laugh so hard that your sides are starting to hurt, tears are running down your face, and you're almost dizzy with the lack of oxygen to your brain. My one buddy that I made in college shared my warped sense of humour, and you would often find us laughing so hard that we could barely stand.

Now that we've each gone to separate parts of the country -- and Canada is a vast land, let me tell you -- those can-hardly-stand-up laughter sessions are becoming fewer and farther in between.

Sigh.

It's not that I don't laugh anymore. Far from it. I stumbled onto a joke someone posted here on the blogs that really tickled my fancy, and I snorted out loud and giggled for several minutes. But I did manage to remain conscious, and my sides remained pain free.

But having one of those full-on, complete belly laugh sessions, those I miss.

It's important to remember to laugh, to enjoy, to treasure life.
Perhaps that is why we look for those individuals that make us smile.
