If I may add, some people confuse sarcasm with humour. What happens then is someone is “zinged” while others laugh. Not my definition of humour.
Great article Karen.

Great point, Suzanne. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
Excellent blog, Karen. I think people should ask themselves this question before delivering a joke at someone else’s expense: “Will everyone understand my sense of humor or could my joke be misinterpreted?” My teenage daughter once told me, “Not everyone thinks you are funny, Mom.” I love humor and making people smile; but they need to smile, not grimace.

Thank you for your comments, Lydia. I always appreciate your input. The question to ask ourselves is an important one.
Yes, yes, a million times YES! Humor should never be at another person’s expense. To me, that’s nothing more than play ground bullying!
Thanks for your comment, Linda. I appreciate you taking the time to read & comment.
