Spreading joy

I'm easily amused. By clumsy actions, wise cracks, funny limericks, humorous stories... in short, I'm easily amused. It doesn't take a lot of effort to make me laugh. An easy, yet incorrect, conclusion to the fact mentioned above might be that I'm not blessed with an amazing sense of humour. The correct, though slightly difficult to fathom, reason is that I'm extremely well-mannered. (I can imagine a few ROFL's after this) But it's so true! When somebody cracks a joke, even the ones that don't really tickle my funny bone, I am quite capable of mustering a decently safe bout of laughter.
However, again...before you assume that most of my friends are not really funny, stop!!! Because they truly are. Some can crack me up with oft-repeated lines, some with their weird expressions and weirder lingos. In fact, I think the stranger the person, the funnier he/she gets.
It's not uncommon for me to be grinning while I think about someone or something that happened to me long before. I believe funny stories are like good memories; you should remember them fondly ever once in a while, and share them with as many people as you can. So spread the joy, but stop if your audience looks really pained. ;-)
