Leave your boring stories to yourself next time.
Sure no problem. Care to respond to the argument?

This is a meaningless statement.I see. My hope is that one day, you will too.
This is also meaningless.I could disagree, but I won't. Because I agree. You on the other hand, will, and do. (see below asterisk).
If you are trained in genetics then discuss it in the proper subforum.Nope. Not beyond the scope of the discussion.(I'm not denying genetics plays a role [in humor skill and appreciation] but it's well beyond the scope of this discussion)
Bare assertion fallacyYou abhor my observation because you do not understand it.
No, I don't.You cancel your own argument when you say such things. ie. you have the abhor meme.

I have a degree in a social science.

Humor is an important social function and it helps to create and strengthen social bonds. The scientific investigation of humor is a worthwhile pursuit. While there may never be a 'unified theory' of humor, the current research on humor research has uncovered some remarkable findings. (I purposely left out the experiments because I didn't want to discourage anyone not trained in social science methodology).

Thank you for your comments. While "my dog spot" stories can be interesting, they have no validity in science.

cienanos' example of genius:
Later, I experimented with context, shock, and eventually landed on the stage. Years later is when I analyzed the whole thing. My best guess is, it's something you have (in some portion), or don't. It's personal in other words.
UnLoVedRebel's example of not so much
I couldn't disagree more. Telling effective jokes is a learned skill. (I'm not denying genetics play a role but it's well beyond the scope of this discussion) On a side note, I abhor the "you either have it or you don't" meme when it's applied to any discpline. The human brain has a few hundred billion neurons, making for a limitless number of neural connections which can be used to master any and every skill.

I don't know a thing about humor theory, but I find your avatar funny. Is it supposed to be H. Kissinger? Your nickname is kind of funny too. In Spanish, cienanos means 100 anus (anii?,anuses?)
