The humor scale is where your sense of humor hangs in the balance. You may think you are not funny (I’ve heard people say they are not funny and I don’t believe it).
Can you find yourself on The Humor Scale? I bet you are somewhere on the scale from wit to whimsy.

Of course I am going to argue (politely) that there are more or less healthy types of humor. Maybe you want to learn to tip one way or the other, find new directions for your sense of humor. It can be done. Yes, I believe Eeyore can find a new tail. And swish it.
