Okay, sense of humor: plus one. Being able to laugh at yourself: plus one. Being able to laugh at other people without being mean: plus one. Vanity: minus one.

Humor has a way of bringing people together. It unites people. In fact, I'm rather serious when I suggest that someone should plant a few whoopee cushions in the United Nations.

One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.

I'm not an expert on the Malaysian sense of humor.

I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor.

Being mean about other people isn't on my radar.
