Re: Humor as a communication technique

BAH HUMBUG TO YOU ALL!  Where are all the grumps today??

 Actually, I too tried to stay out of this one and  I ditto John Posada's
      message.

I do not find lightning very humorous, either! I lived in Colorado for 22
      years

(and still can't figure out why I left) where there is one of the highest
      lighting-strike counts in the country.

Lightning is not taken lightly !!!  :-)

I don't even find the ". . . Dummies" books *very* funny, either. If I want
      funny-humor I like to watch Tim Allen (yep, the same) or read Dave
      Barry; if I want something irreverant , I'll watch Dave Letterman; if
      I want something I think is NOT FUNNY, I'll watch the Three Stooges.
      I love great (subjective) humor but can't stand slapstick or British
      humor (no offense).  I  think most humor these days in the USofA is
      irreverant, disrespectful, and borderline rude, but is not
      funny-humorous. Being that there are many forms of humor - something
      dark, sick, silly, or ridiculous may be amusing to one person but not
      to another, even within one culture.

I like to keep humor and tech writing seperate, thank you.
