Positive Humor

Two funny things:

  1. Wendy was cold and borrowed one of her aunt’s scarves or whatnot. She liked it so much she asked if she could borrow it back to Hong Kong. Her aunt gave her a stern look and said, “I’m going to check your luggage before you leave.”

  2. My mom was vacuuming the apartment. I walked into the bathroom and told her I was taking a shower. She said, “What? Every time I am about to vacuum the bathroom you take a shower!” I responded, “You’re never going to vacuum the bathroom! PUAHAHA!!!” and closed the door.

I bring these two up in contrast to many of the sarcastic jokes I’ve said in the past, which have left room for confusion and the potential to hurt. I’d like to steer my humor toward a more positive, lighthearted, obvious sense.
