I'm 74, grew up in Newark NJ. At around 12-14 you start your education in humor. Where I hung out , 1965, you had tough guys, " normal" guys and professional ball busters! I learned from the best! I was 16, these guys were 21, 25. Man! I have a PhD. in improve abd satirical humor. If you're not funny you go the " sarcasm route " ! I laugh everyday! Try it! You'll like it!
