Humor in real life! Keeping your cool in any situation is an awesome trait to have! Add humor to that and you become a deadly conversationalist!
A Welsh joke that i read (book: humor across frontiers):
At a Rotary club luncheon in Warrington, a few glasses of red wine had loosened the tongue of some of the Rotarians. Bentham, a man fond of aphorisms and sweeping statements, was in a particularly good form. The subject turned to nearby Wales, whereupon Bentham declared:
“Nothing ever came out of Wales except rugby players and prostitutes”
A giant of a man sitting across the table from Bentham rose to his feet and glared menacingly at his fellow Rotarian.
“My wife is Welsh!”
“Oh really! What position does she play?”
Real life humor:
My cousin Ramnath, resides in the city of Chennai (a metro in South India).
At a time when water shortage in the city was very pronounced, you had these giant water tankers running criss-cross across the city. Many of the drivers, doing multiple runs per day did not even bother to latch down the filling ports on the top, that resulted in water dripping and splashing while driving around.
At a busy stop, the driver of a water tanker had to apply brakes at the last minute and screeched to a halt. My cousin on his scooter was, unfortunately, next to the tanker when this happened and a wave of water from the top of the tanker nearly drenched him.
What he did next, is something i would classify as FUN. He calmly parked his scooter, went around to the driver and said:
“Can you please give me a soap and towel as well? I would like to finish this bath!”
