your humor style:
\nCLEAN<\/b> | COMPLEX<\/b> | LIGHT<\/b>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You’re not pretentious, but you’re not into what some would call ‘low humor’ either. You’ll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.<\/p>\n

You probably like well-thought-out pranks and\/or spoofs and it’s highly likely you’ve tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor because it’s smart without being mean-spirited.<\/p>\n

I’d say this is fairly accurate. I don’t mind vulgarity per se <\/em>(i.e., as it says, I love a good dirty joke as much as the next bloke), but not vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity, as too many dirty jokes are. Witty vulgarity, that’s peachy. So if they say I am diametrically opposed to the “Shock Jock” — I can but nod vigorously. <\/p>\n

(via BD<\/a>, who is very close to my score, but darker, not surprisingly, and thus is a “Wit”)<\/small> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
