Humor - Your 7th Sense

Hi, we are Phil and Susan Sorentino, the Original Humor Consultant, and welcome to the first episode of the "Humor - Your 7th Sense" podcast. Today, we're delving into the fascinating world of humor and its profound connection to our senses. But before we get started, let me introduce you to a pivotal moment in my life, thanks to our son Chad. Back in 1981, our son Chad was in kindergarten. Yes, we have a Chad, not a hanging Chad or a dimple Chad, just a regular ol' Chad. Now, here's the twist – Chad would go on to become a drill sergeant, training over 1100 troops in two years and stationed at Fort Knox. Quite the journey from kindergarten, wouldn't you say? So, picture this: Chad's kindergarten class was discussing the five senses – sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. But our son, always one to think outside the box, raised his hand and asked about the "6th sense" When the teacher inquired, "Your 6th sense?" Chad brilliantly responded, "Yeah, your ability to read other people's minds." You can imagine the pride in our hearts when we heard that. But it doesn't end there. Chad's teacher, who was truly remarkable, asked him about the "7th cents." To which Chad asked, "Your 7th sense." The teacher probed further, "Your sense of.humor" And that's when it clicked. Chad's response wasn't just humorous; it was profound. If we can agree that your sense of humor is your sense of perspective, then it's the culmination of all the information processed through our other six senses. Essentially, your sense of humor becomes your attitude. And as our good friend from Lima, Ohio, E. Larry Moles, once said, "I see people walking around looking like they were weaned on a pickle." It all comes down to our attitudes. So, dear listeners, the question we pose to you today is: Do you have a loving humor or a hateful humor? An encouraging humor or a discouraging humor? A forgiving humor or a revengeful humor? The power is in your hands to choose the humor you bring to the world. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the "Original" Humor Consultants podcast. Remember, your sense of humor is your 7th sense, and it has the potential to shape the world around you. Until next time, keep laughing, keep loving, and keep choosing your humor wisely.
