Explanation / Answer
1.) I would say 7/10. I in fact try out a lot, what basically gives me pleasure is the laughs and to an extent some sort of authority over the crowd. I think most of the times i excercise it correctly but there have been situations where I could have cracked up a joke but since 1-2 persons among the crowd of 7-8 would have hated it, I didnt go for it.
Offensive humor can for sure create stress, not all people are open minded in every direction possible, there are very high chances that a person might not be comfortable with joking about his race/ethnicity/accent and even things like hair loss/face marks etc. To improve this I guess humour regarding hypothetical situations can work, jokes out of grou[p work, maybe jokes on current issues, politics these are always good.
2.) mostly nonsense, but I do enjoy slapstick.
3.) Well they are innumerable, and as far as I think for most of the people the answer would be innumerable times. Funniest moments in my life have always occured between friends/colleaugues and were mostly slapstick.
4.) Some unlikely events in a classroom, some joke I cracked between friends which after a while I realized was very good peice of humour.
5.) Friends, children, the times when i was a child, school recess, and of course college nonsense.
6.) I think one must make this kind of list. I think what I would certainly do wherever I go for job or anywhere in my life will try to take 3-4 weeks to go out. I'll follow a physical activity to keep myself thinking and look like young always.
A walk in late night with headphones on whenever there is a lot of pressure, it gives peace, talking to your parents always helps.
I think answering the above was simpler to understand pointwise otherwise the paragraph could have become a mess.
