Well, that's a very interesting question. Actually, I believe that laughter is the best medicine, and I'm the kind of person who loves easily, even at simple jokes or not-so-funny jokes. There are so many things that make me laugh. These include, number one, when I watch comedy shows on television or movies. Number two, I also laugh at the jokes of my friends or family members, or sometimes I laugh at my own mistakes. So these are the things that make me laugh. You may say that my humor is not that high; however, little things can make me laugh. I appreciate simple jokes.
