I'm learning that people in general don't have a sense of humor any more. More and more folks are opting for the "Stick Up The Ass" philosophy of modern living.

I am forcing myself to reign it in at my art shows, I used to like to joke with prospective customers, what I've experienced is that 80% of them either don't 'get it', are not amused, or even take offense at something I thought was obviously a joke.
