dry, dark, satire....refined expressions of comedy .....more enjoyable and tasteful than the loud, expressive and gaudy types....

talking of a combination of dry and dark humour I cannot resist the temptation to recall the great Master Hirannaiah....his plays were such an optimal dose on the dark side of politics enacted in such a matter-of-fact dry manner ......

Humour is Humour - Dark Rum or Dry Gin both work. They leave me high spirited!!

Like most subtle things in life, humor is about timing and often a clever twist. I find funny people are sensitive people who are somewhat detached. They therefore have a ring side view of life and circumstances dealing with the challenges but also seeing them in third person. It's a gift no matter which form of humor it is.
