Not immodestly, I will claim (honestly) that I have a great sense of humor. I can recognize humor, revel in it, even wallow in it. Laugh out loud at subtle and slapstick alike.
But for some reason I can't BE funny. I'm genetically incapable of writing a humorous anectdote or telling a funny story. I've read books on "How to Write Humor" and "Tell Jokes to your Friends" but --nothin' happened. I was not magically transformed into Laugh Lady Fighting the World's Evil with a Good Punchline. I was not even able to accomplish a bit of ha-ha for the neighbors. Not even a ha.
This is frustrating. How I burn with a need to create a funny post here on my blog. (For my own pleasure, obviously, since no one else will see it.) Instead I read other blogs where people are witty, erudite, witty, intelligent, WITTY... well you get it. So if anyone stumbles in here in error looking for funny, please read me first, then you can go looking for a chuckle.

Sometimes I take a lot of time to write what I believe is a funny post, and when I read it again a day later, all I can thinks is: What on earth were you thinking?
Other posts take (literally) 15 seconds, and sometimes they get a much bigger reaction.
Now give me that banana
