Not 100 Percent Of The Time

If you can't say something nice It's best to say nothing at all That's going to be me from now on My humour is often misinterpreted Causing an undesirable reaction I wrongly assume everyone sees through it And that it IS simply humour I apologize, but this is me It has always been me to make light of situations That are uncomfortable to deal with We all have our own way of getting through Mine is to rely on humour It works a good percentage of the time BUT NOT 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME

Jack, Humour, such a doubled edged sword. Empathy is not so much about caring what you say, but how you make others feel. "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken," -Oscar Wilde

If they don't enjoy your humour they should move on Jack. And if they've got nothing good to say then button up. Hope your week is going well. Tom

Jack, never let other's determine who you'll be, humor like a suit, not a fit for all you see!
