For me personally, there’s nothing as sexy as the combination of inteligence and a sense of humor!

I agree!

Hear, hear!
And BTW, Margaret and Lisa, a little immodest it may be, but people tell me I have that combination as well.
Of course, I look like Shrek’s body double, too, so take it all for what it’s worth ;-P

Larry:
I’ve already told you that if I was a little younger and a LOT thinner, I’d be in line. As for the Shrek body double thing; I don’t buy it! I’ve seen your picture! Besides which, remember that Fiona fell in love with Shrek the inner ogre not Shrek the homely outside shell.

Now you’ve touched a nerve. I love a good sense of humor, not so much a corny or “lame” joke. Psychology Today featured “Humor” in one of its issues decades ago, maybe in the late 70′s. All the people writing or contributing to the article agreed that a sense of humor is a mark of intelligence.
There’s nothing more disheartening than a person who never laughs, or who can’t laugh at him/herself, or “doesn’t get a joke”, etc.
My spouse has a slew of what I call “lame jokes”, some I’ve heard so many times I cringe when they make a comeback. Others are just too droll and I find myself making an effort to laugh at them. We both laugh at the same major things and like the same comedians or type of comedy, its just his jokes that, sometimes, are a hurdle for me to overcome. I feel like a total hypocrite sometimes. Of course there are always the ones who laugh at his jokes, maybe ’cause they hear them for the first time, maybe ’cause some women feel that they’ve to laugh when a man cracks a ‘joke’. Women usually don’t get the same reaction from women, because jokes don’t enter into the conversation but some other edgy comments are celebrated. There was a huge discussion on another forum about humor and many posting there, men, said that women don’t have a sense of humor that’s why there aren’t many women comedians.

My husband and I make each other laugh all of the time. I call him at work sometimes so we can make each other laugh. So, on the droll, wintry days when there is not much to do – we laugh. It’s wonderful.

I know that even after 22 years of marraige, of good and bad we still can make each other laugh, though I know my husband is so much better at it, he has had years of practice getting a laugh out of me. What a wonderful husband I have, very supportive with a great sence of humor.
