I’ve looked in Kmart, Walmart, Walgreens, Spencers… but I just can’t seem to find a decent sense of humor being sold anywhere. Any suggestions?

I can’t. What I find funny everybody else on earth seems to find morbidly offensive or benign. Sorry.
Ah, there’s your problem. A decent sense of humor can’t be bought. If you weren’t lucky enough to inherit a natural talent for it from your parents, you’ll have to get it the hard way: practice, practice, practice. 
But beware: This can also get you killed.
Yikes!!! That’s not funny in the least… unless, perhaps, if I were killed in a cartoonish, slapstick sort of manner… you know, either a safe or grand piano being dropped on my head from the gazillionth floor of a Woolworths building.
Could you possibly be able to share some technique hints with me? I consider you a pretty funny person and think I could learn a thing or two from your example.
decent? Those qualifiers are such a problem…
Forget it JES. Who wants one of those crappy mainstream senses of humour anyway. Think of all the weak lowest-common-denominator sitcoms you’d have to laugh at.
It just ain’t dignified. 
Yes, most people think I’m strange.
For examples of humor, I suggest you check out this [u]Billy Connolly[/u] site. 
BTW, when and where did you lose your own sense of humor? Somebody might stumble across it (a prat fall, perhaps?) and return it to you.
Oh, this is true. That Billy Connolly page is more representive of an indecent sense of humor. Sorry 'bout that.
Decent humor is everywhere, my friends. For example, I spent time reading my used McDonald’s coffee cup this morning. It reads:“Precaucion:!Esta Caliente!. How are we doin’? Richer, Bolder, More Robust*, Caution, I’m Hot, I’m lovin’ it.”
Yeah. Those mainstream senses of humour are all controlled by the big corporations.
What you need is an indepedent sense of humour, one which the Bushes don’t want you to have. Y’know, like an outrageous sense of humour.
I visited The Comedy Store to find a sense of humor… I’ll not do that again soon.
Sense of humor? Don’t look at me. I’m crabby today.
Oh that’s typical of you right-wingers. Did you even bother to readthe references I linked to? I expect you’ll lock the thread soon too.
Lucky you…
Just a few questions to narrow things down.
Is your concern that you are not amused by the presumably humorous postings on C&F?
Or is it that it appears that no one else is amused by things you consider funny?
It’s important to know this because when you shop for a sense of humor you need to know whether to get a humor viewer or a humor projector.
One other question. Is this about humor or about legitimacy? If you have an illegal sense of humor, my suggestion would be to send it back to its birthplace and tell it to re-enter with all the appropriate papers.
If you turn it sideways, you’ll find this just below the copyright –

That would be the blend that ranked just below kerosene but above pig urine in user preference tests.
