Is there a website you can go to self-test for a sense of humor?


Unfortunately not...and there are a lot of "humor challenged" AS WELL as
those that think if it's not on SNOPES it must be true.


Good try, but seems to be an urban legend:

Would you put more faith in it if I could find a Wikipedia article on the
subject? :-)

Well, first of all, if you did provide such EVIDENCE (_real_ evidence, not
flatulent opinions ..especially opinions using selective data), I'd no
longer have to take it on "faith", right. So right there your credibility is
a bit stunted as you don't apparently comprehend what constitutes a proper
epistemology or method.

Secondly, I've seen stuff on Wikipedia (an open encyclopedia) that was
dubious. Noam Chomsky comes to mind.

Thirdly, well, I guess you are just an example of the former. :~)

Addendum:

You still haven't addressed that many Urban Legends are lame attempts at
humor.

I think what Matt is trying to say in so many words is that for him to
believe it, you'll have to get Rush Limbaugh to say it.

HTH.

I think you are a pompous ass and totally full of ****. Based on this last,
it's proven AFAIC.
