Being called funny is something I relish (though funny in a smart and a witty way) *winks winks*. Believe me it’s a blessing. I think being humorous can help you connect to many people. A great conversation starter. You have to strike the humour chord that everyone possesses. Sometimes humour can take different shades. A stupid humour is a humour. An intellectual humour is a humour. Many fail to understand these both extremes. And I am not talking about dark humour,sorry.
TBH my humour puts a lot of creative cells into work!
