Sense of humour

Do you consider yourself to have a good sense of humour?I do.I have always had a good sense of humour.I think that it´s a kind of defence against all the difficulties,hardships and pressures of life.Sometimes we are so concerned about the things we have to do and our responsabilities that we tend to forget about laughing. I know that there are times when everything is wrong, or something bad has happened to us. It´s difficult to laugh in these moments, but sometimes we have to percieve the absurd part of life and laught at it. In my case, I use humour to release nervous tension; it makes me feel good, but there were times when I had problems with people because of my jokes. I almost received a good punch in my face because I had the brilliant idea of impersonating a bully classmate of mine at secondary school. I have to recognize that sometimes I don´t have a limit concerning jokes, but it´s not my intention to hurt people. I tend to think that they have a good sense of humour and they won´t be offended because of my jokes.I have to admit that I feel very good when people laugh at my silly jokes, but I don´t consider myself to be funny. There are friends of mine that don´t think I´m funny and it happens the other way round; I am the victim of their jokes. There are several comedians I admire. I have always like absurd humour like the kind of Todo por 2 pesos and Diego Capusotto, but there are many others which I admire. I really like Roberto Petinatto monologues, Jorge Ginsburg´s intelligent interviews, the naive humour of Mr Bean, Alberto Olmedo and Les Luthiers, some tv programmes like Alejo y Valentina, CQC and Duro de Domar. I even had the chance to meet Carlitos Bala in Mar del Plata. It was several years ago, we were dinning with my sister at a restaurant when he appeared. Everybody turned their heads and started clapping their hands when their realized of his presence. I asked him for an autograph and he was very kind to me, always making jokes and laughing. I really admire people who have sense of humour and don´t take themselves so seriously. I think that having good humour shows intelligence, and it´s a way to the face life and problems.
