If you have to explain your sense of humor, then you are performing for the wrong crowd.

About This Quote

Humor is a delicate thing. Even the most well-meaning attempt at humor can be misconstrued and take away from the intended effect. If you have a sense of humor that you enjoy, then don’t try to explain it to others, because they probably won’t get it. If you have a sense of humor that you enjoy but don’t understand how other people feel it, then don’t try to explain it to them either.

You can’t always choose who you are around and what’s funny to you is not always funny to someone else. Just because someone doesn’t understand your sense of humor doesn’t mean that they’re wrong or bad or that they want you to stop having fun. It just means that they aren’t you and they can’t see the same world as you do.
