Vulcan humor and other oxymorons
Darkside and I got into a disagreement today over a bit of something. We were talking about humor, and so forth, and he cited one of the sources of his sense of humor. I wondered if the other half was from Mr. Spock.
That's where we got into the disagreement: he said that Spock had no sense of humor, and challenged me to name one joke that Spock had cracked.
"It's the eyebrows," I said.
"That's intended to represent curiousity, not humor! Just because the actor portraying Spock had a sense of humor doesn't mean Spock did!"
He then digressed, and I missed much of the next bit ("If I were human, I would tell them to go to hell." and Data's "Oh, shit!" comment) that he expounded upon, because I was busy falling off the bed and landing smack into my computer chair, which in turn joggled the desk, sending my full cup of water toppling, pouring down all over the computer chair and me. The suddenness of all this triggered a coughing fit...
I don't think I need a slapstick sitcom when I have Darkside and me.
