Everyone loves to laugh. On pages 94-95, Heinrichs describes different forms of humor. Which are you most attracted to? Give an example (so we can practice our love of laughter). :)
I am most attracted to facetious humor. While urbane humor can be fun and make others who don't get the humor look silly, it can occasionally be dry, and I prefer jokes to wordplay.
While most ATTRACTED to facetious humor, I LOVE it when people banter. When I am listening to some people facetiously joke around, I hear a little giggle here and laughter there. When I hear two people bantering, there tends to be a lot more laughter, and the conversation tends to last longer. A new couple are on a first date in a restaurant: "Sir, you are hilarious!" "And you are too, ma'am. It's too bad you're such a dork!" "Haha! I'm the dork, Sir? You're one with the Millenium Falcon t-shirt!" "At least I don't separate my peas from my mashed potatos!" (together:) "Hahahaaha!" -WJ
I think I am most attracted to a mix of urbane and facetious humor. I enjoy making really bad puns just to get people to roll their eyes. It tends to break the ice in any akward situations I'm in to just fire one liners back at people and get comfortable with the situation.
I am most attracted to wit. People who are employ wit make you laugh and make you think about their jokes to understand them. I think a great example of a person who uses wit is my Chemistry teacher Mr. Bovenzi. He understands us as a student who went here and he has a very off the cuff style about him. People who use wit are usually the most interesting people, who blend a mix of intelligence and humor.
Personally, i am most attracted to sarcastic wit. it's clever, spontaneous and downright hilarious. people who use wit tend to be the smartest. the best comedians don't just use facetious and urbane humor. they use wit. wit is the most intelligent of humors
I prefer wit. I agree with Will and Joe that wit has intelligence behind it and not just people who are trying to get a laugh, it actually takes crafting and thought. With wit it is surprising and has lots of twists and turns in just a few exchanges of dialogue.
