I have.
Most of my fellow Astronomers do, the good folk at camp do, but unfortunately in the past I have met some of the saddest dried-up prunes in this hobby that you never wish to meet!

So I would say, in general, most do, but some don't. Same as society as a whole

What a ridiculous thread

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Humour is relative.
What may be hilarious to you might be highly offensive to me.

Laughing probably elevates the blood pressure - better stay away from it.

Most amateurs do but some are just plain old... well just plain old.

Hmmmm ok, I will be the "smart rrrrrrrrrrs" is it Humour or Humor?
Is my post humourous, humorous or offensive?

Fritz Zwicky had a great term for some of his fellow astronomers at Mt Wilson, calling them "spherical b******s" that is they were b******s everyway he looked at them, humourous/humorous or offensive? I think he meant it to be offensive but I see it as humourous/humorous...

Odd thread really but it is cloudy and I have had a cc and coke or 2.

In discovering a Supernova I can see the funnyside of inhabitants of a nearby planet saying "what the $^*(* was that?" Ok Ok, they were all fried long before, but go with the humour/humor.

JJJ is right humour/humor is relative 'cause my dad was a clown...hehehe

Ah B....... was edited out automatically, well that's fair enough.
And now the howls, howells, houls ? Too much cc

Here is a neat site for some Astro humour/humor

Your right JJ I find all my relatives humourous and sometimes offensive to me

What's wrong with my yowie suit? I go shopping in it, attend church in it and the occasional court-appearance in it. I don't see why I couldn't get married in it.

I'm off now to see if I can find my AWOL sense of humor...

Well,

I dunno about the grammar side of it, but what sjastro and I were joking about was the humor inside yer eyeball

To me, this thread is about humour and being humorous, although it seemed to disappear pretty quickly

Cheers

Humorous jokes are by nonessential, amusing facetious persons
However they do awaken amusement and pleasure in me.

[Jen]

Laughter is the best medicine for me

As to the future only one thing that is certain, there will be humour.

I think by virtue of persistence and frustration anyone still here must be an "Astro Nut" and therefore exercise their funny bones regularly.

Even if its because they just bumped them raising a glass!

You have to have a sense of humour in this game otherwise you would go mad.

I think all members here have a good sense of humour, you just have to read between the lines to see it sometimes.

My sense of humour comes from too many years of Monty Python, Goodies, Benny Hill, The Two Ronnies etc. I can see something amusing in just about anything.

My outlook can sometimes cause raised eyebrows in managers meetings, now that lot really don't have a sense of humour or a life.
