Has society lost their sense of humour?
Bex03-Sep-21
I'm finding quite frequently that people are way too serious. Almost every time I view a forum on Rewardia, it is serious, and free of fun. Let's try something different today. Tell us your best joke.

                                    • I used to love Paul Hogan because he only ever made a fool of himself, now however he is a sexist. How times have changed but to me he's still funny and I get a laugh. People should lighten up as not everything is a slight or insult. What poor sad people they are if they can't see a joke and get a laugh out of it. If someone has to tell you that you have just been insulted you obviously haven't, so tell them to go jump.

                                              • I think society now has grudge and claims instead of humour. Any joke or any amount humour will find someone who prefers to get offended and claim a compensation. The age of political correctness. God bless it! So jokes about ourselves are off the menu. We can only joke about for example a spoon on a table.

She decided she would take her lunch and sit with them, so she put the sandwich in a brown bag and walked over to the spot where the men were eating. Sporting a big smile, she walked up to the group and asked: “Any of you men know Jesus Christ?” They shook their heads and looked at each other, very confused. Then one of the workers looked up into the steelworks and yelled out: "Anybody up there know Jesus Christ?" One of the steelworkers yelled back down: "WHY?" The worker yelled back: " ‘cause his mum’s here with his lunch.

People take a lot of things out of context, twist your words and meaning. Social media has brought out the worst in people and there seems to be thousands of minority groups who jump into offence mode about absolutely everything. I think the lesson is, you can't please everyone, you never will, even when you think you're doing your best or being the kindest, someone will always find fault, they pick and poke and twist. It's not nice, but people aren't always nice. I think the key is to focus on the nice, what makes you happy and what you know is right, ignore the rest. Anyway, enough on that. Here's a joke. Why don't ants get sick? Because they have little anty bodies.

It's sad but it is becoming a reality now and as I watching an entertainment show yesterday the hosts were basically saying the same thing that we are too sensitive now and often what we say even as a joke offends at least certain people. I still love a good joke and am never offended unless it really was out there but we do need a sense of humor these days life can be to short to be serious all the time. Just my thoughts.

I always try to have a laugh every day with someone or even with my dog who always brings me joy. Times are tough but times have been tougher in years gone by. Truly, this generation is not copping it as bad as past generations when families were torn apart by WW1 and WW2 and other horrible events. Back then they had to await a letter which could take weeks to arrive but these days you turn on your phone, PC etc. and can face time with family and friends and work or amuse yourself with whatever takes your fancy. I am not a joke person but I do love good humour. I often get a laugh out of things others miss. Life is too short to be miserable and bemoaning the bad things. I agree with you, lets set fun free for a change. Have a happy day everyone.
