    Sense of humor and lack of maturity are two different things. Many people think that immature jokes and hurtful comments are funny when they are not-they're just immature. A sense of humor is finding funny things in everyday situations and politely teasing others without hurting their feelings. This may or may not be your problem, but I hear alot of immature people say that it's "everyone else's fault because nobody has a sense of humor" when actually it is theirs because they lack maturity! I'm not saying this is true for you, I'm just answering your question. Have a good day.

    Too many people are serious about everything, but there are a few who still have a sense of humor. The ones who do, usually don't appreciate the childishness of others jokes or pranks.

    Many people are too busy trying to make money and they seem to

    be irritable all the time. A good sense of humor would do them good. I have actually spoken to a clerk in the store or elsewhere &

    they just look and don't answer.

    I have a sense of humor, but I find some of the postings in here vulgar and repulsive rather than funny.

    upbringing!

    i know lots of folks with a wonderful sense of humor who were obviously raised by happy parents.

    my parents weren't so happy and i have a bit of trouble finding my sense of humor sometimes.

    It's just sometimes people take a joke too far on serious matters. Especially on yahoo answers, we're looking for intelligence at times not stupid questions and answers.
