I don’t consider myself funny, but I do think that I am rather amusing. I can engage in witty repartee with the best of them. So when today it occurred to me that some among my acquaintances question whether I have sense of humor, I was surprised. People laugh quite bit when I am around. I am amusing in the extreme!

However, I can acknowledge that I do not get “boy” humor at all. I do not find jokes about bodily functions or gay jokes all that funny. I do not like to make fun of others; I much prefer to make jokes at my expense. Often in a group of laughing men, the joke must be explained to me. I am use to being teased by those who share my sense of humor and can give and take easily. However, I have no idea how to respond to teasing by what seem to me as mean spirited men.

I am quite upset about this. I do not like how this makes me an outsider. I do not want to seem like a dull dog, I just do not know how to participate.

Oh, fuck them. I am funny goddamn it.
