WOFIGOfan, this one's for you

Q: What did the grape say when someone stepped on him?

A: Nothing. He just let out a little whine.[...]
 
if you chuckled at that pitiful excuse for a joke above, take solace in the fact that you probably possess a cheerful and resilient personality. In fact, you practically bubble with confidence.

At least, there's a good chance you do according to the Antioch Humor Test, a landmark and long-running study in the 1980s that examined which people laughed at which types of jokes.

Consider that if you're a fan of social satire, you probably tilt toward suspicious and creative behavior.

Delight in zingers aimed at other ethnic groups? You're likely an unsentimental realist.

Sex jokes? Well, if they're just about the act, then most cackles come from those considered impulsive and able to laugh without the fear of social consequences, for better or worse. [COUGH COUGH]
 
 
I think this makes me a suspicious person with no fear of social consequences.

Of COURSE I bubble with confidence!

It's sort of like my other favorite joke:

Man sits at a bar and hears little voices saying,

"Nice tie!"
"Oooh! Your shirt brings out the baby blue in your eyes!"
"Lookin' good!"

Confused, man says to bartender:

"Where are these voices coming from?"

Bartender: "Oh, it's the nuts, they're complimentary!"

I also laugh at pretty much anything. Is there a designation for attention whore?
