Is there something about you that makes people laugh?

I have an infectious laughter, and most often than not people start laughing with me as soon as I start laughing. I also come up with some wry one liners that make people laugh out loud. I have a habit of throwing stuff at people ( like a ball of paper, or some small thing like a bottle cap that won't hurt really) however, I am so poor at aiming stuff that it never hits the person.. often times it hits someone else. My family thinks it funny. Do you do things that make others laugh?

My bad puns. I make really really bad puns and my one liners are so good they're bad. And sometimes people find my weird reactions funny. One time, at school, a girl who used to sit with me was crying because she got less marks, and our teacher told us to y'know, help her out. So, everyone went to her and they said, "Oye, don't cry!". I first said, "You should cry, as crying reduces stress and removes toxins." Then I said, "Also, research says that when girls cry in college in front of professors for increasing their marks, it works most of the time. Okay, we're all going to practice with you and start crying." She suddenly started laughing while the tears were flowing down her face. Even I'm really bad at aiming stuff, and while playing cricket, out of 10 times I can throw the ball in a way the batsman is able to hit it only about twice. And always, all the spectators find it funny.

@sofssu I don't ever bat. I can't even properly bowl or field. :P I did try batting once, it ended with me hitting the wickets with my bat on the 3'rd ball. My lack of hand-eye coordination is a source of amusement for my family, and now that I say it, I feel like a famous psychologist.

@BrainySaber It does seem like your 'psycho-motor coordination' is poorer than mine.. That the way to say it professionally

I do stand up comedy poetry so I hope people laugh at that. my accent amuses some people and I get childish jokes about being bald a lot.

@sofssu I can sometimes be quite dry and witty in conversation. I can improvise but with humorous poetry I tend to have my script in hand while straight-forward comedy tends to be more rehearsed.

Oh wow.. so you are a stand up comedian? that is wonderful? Are you funny in normal conversation too or only when you do stand up comedy?

I would have to say they laugh at my quick wit. It could be because I give them the evil eye, so they laugh as to not get me upset. Just kidding.. Most people like my sense of humor, probably because I tend to hang round with people who have the same kind of sense of humor.

@sofssu Oh I know you do. I think that is about 80% of the people. I enjoying hanging out with you too. Yes, I know what you mean. When something goes over someone's head, the laughter just isn't the same.

People usually laugh at me because I can be so naiive at times because I have led such a sheltered life as a child.

@simone10 I laugh too more because its easier to go with the crowd I agree it did hurt much more when I was a child. My friends thought I was dumb.

@gudheart I guess strange sounds catch people off guard and suddenly it dawns on them that what unsettled them initially was indeed a humorous event.

I am a duffer when it comes to mobile phones, I have just about mastered turning on the one I have. My lack of ability makes my family and friends laugh. Friends have stopped sending anything important to me by text, as I don't even know how to access a text. I have no desire to learn either, because I have mastered phoning family and that is all I need my phone for.

@maggs224 I just though I heard my mom speak.. she was of the same opinion.. she always insisted that the phone was only for calling people. We were happy that she was reachable.
