Life without humor for me would be very boring because I would never be able to extent my thoughts. Everyone has a different style of humor, which leaves room for creativity. Humor makes people want stick around. To me that 's awesome because when people want to talk to me I get to make new friends. Another reason why I love humor is it never gets boring.
