A young
ensign had nearly completed his
first overseas tour of sea duty when he
was given an opportunity to
display his ability at getting the ship
under way. With a stream of
crisp commands, he had the decks buzzing with
men and soon, the
ship had left port and was streaming out of the
channel.
The
ensign's efficiency has been remarkable. In fact, the deck was
abuzz
with talk that he had set a new record for getting a destroyer under
way. The ensign glowed at his accomplishment and was not all surprised
when another seaman approached him with a message from the
captain.
He was, however, a bit surprised to find that it was a radio
message,
and he was even more surprised when he read, "My personal
congratulations upon completing your underway preparation exercise
according to the
book and with amazing speed. In your haste, however,
you have
overlooked one of the unwritten rules -- make sure th
e captain is aboard before
getting under way!"
An
accountant applies for the position of Chief Financial Officer.
There are a number of candidates and he is called in for an interview.
They
ask him a number of questions and one of the panel suddenly says
"What
is nine multiplied by four?"
He thinks quickly and
says "Thirty five." When the interview is over
he goes outside, takes out his calculator and
finds the correct answer
is not thirty five. He thinks "Well, I blew
that" and goes home very
disappointed.
Next day he is rung up
and told he has got the job. "Wonderful," he
says, "but what about
nine multiplied by four? My answer wasn't
right"
"We know,
but of all the candidates you came the closest."
Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources, which must be preserved at all cost.

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

Laughter rises out of tragedy, when you need it the most, and rewards you for your courage.

The secret source of humour itself is not joy, but sorrow. There is no humour in heaven.

Humour is to be brave enough to laugh of one self.

Humor is like salt from mother earth. And those salted very well will stay fresh for long time.

Having a 'sense of humor' means that you are a funny person and make good jokes. All in all humor is comedy and funniness!
