I'm only funny to myself

I took the 3-Variable Funny Test mentioned on FF's blog. Then I hacked up the results in Notepad because they were one big ad for the parent site.

FF and I have the same sense of humor ... which is to say that I, too, could become an overstressed middle school Latin teacher who drinks too much and goes to Young Republican meetings. (You know it's all love, dear.)

THE WIT
(57% dark, 38% spontaneous, 26% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty — after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy? — but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion. You probably loved the Office.

I also took the "Would You Have Been a Nazi?" test and discovered I was not Nazi material. The results showed I would have been an expatriate like Einstein. (I'm not saying I compare to Einstein ... just that his picture was used in my results.)

Weeeell, how did everyone else score?

I know it is spoken out of pure envy. Everyone wants to teach something as obtuse as a 2500 year old dead language.

Speaking of which... I might move up to be an upper school Latin teacher and the vice chair of YRs. haha I might also stop drinking too, but that would be less likely.

Exactly the same as you, Kate. But we're both editors, so is it really a surprise?

I didn't see that coming.

Harumph.

I wouldn't have been a Nazi either, but I wouldn't have joined the Resistance.

Damn it.
