"EVERYTHING HUMAN IS PATHETIC. THE SECRET SOURCE OF HUMOUR ITSELF IS NOT JOY BUT SORROW. THERE IS NO HUMOUR IN HEAVEN" - Mark Twain.

 


To continue with the humour theme, or lack of it, I looked at 10 each of the recent posts written by bloggers and measured them for humour content. The results are as follows:

Richard's Bass Bag

  1. Why do I keep saying...                                                 
  2. "I love you Richard."                                                     
  3. Monday.                                                                         
  4. Nice one!                                                                       
  5. I slept in!                                                                       
  6. We march forward. aka Ring the bell for hell.              
  7. "Go to Hell!"                                                                 
  8. Hell's Bowels.                                                                
  9. Off to work.                                                                    
  10. Two days without practising, but I'm just having a...     
No, no humour in any of those although, in "I slept in" his recounting how he had to hide his teddy bear from his friends was funny though, albeit in a pathos kind of way.

ROB
  1. Saturday
  2. "The Everlasting Man" G K Chesterton
  3. Purgatory
  4. hell...the last judgement
  5. So what makes hell so very bad?
  6. hell .... de Stefano. How and why souls go to hell.
Hell no! Humour was on holiday in those and even the author himself didn't have a chuckle. You might have noticed that there are only 6 recent posts as, per usual, he 'flushed' all the previous ones away (I hope that he washed his hands afterwards).


THE CURMUDGEON

  1. THINGS TO DO IN WELLINGTON #1
  2. HE'S BACK!
  3. GONE
  4. INTERVIEW #32
  5. MAGA MAN
  6. THE WORLD IS GETTING STUPIDER
  7. SEA MOORING*
  8. MAKING PURE NICER = PRURIENCE
  9. LIGHTEN UP PART ONE (Maybe of a series)
  10. NEW POST - THE RELIGIOUS CURMUDGEON
Ha ha ... what a hoot. Unbiased as I am I managed to find humour in 5 of those most recent posts - that's a whopping 50%!

I trust that you found that interesting as I know that you readers like statistics and reports of how the blogs are going.

Stay posted (and posting**).



* He deserves a point for his blog title alone.

** A little joke there for you.

You didn't mention your 'it' joke on my blog.

DISQUALIFIED!

Richard (of RBB) said...

You stole it from, "Paraparaumu is a very big word. How do you spell it?"

That's a 1960s schoolboy joke.

Yes, you were a funny little chap in the 1960s.

Richard (of RBB) said...

I didn't make it up.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

I’m not suggesting that you did. I was just stating that you were a funny little chap in the 1960s.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Hey, I made it into 3G!

Rob said...

God must have a sense of humour. He made us.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Then why didn't he work on Peter's?

Don't confuse your paracetemol tablet with the enema one.
