Novel & Cerita Quirky Humour

I muttered, “if I wanted you dead, I wouldn’t poison you. I’d shoot you instead.” Their mouths dropped open, and I realized too late that I shouldn’t be joking about something like that. A nervous laugh fell from my lips. “I—I was only joking. You’d be able to smell poison from a mile away, and I know you’ll get the gun away from me within seconds.” Devrim was the first to break the silence. “You humans have a sick sense of humour. I don’t really see what’s so funny in what you said.” “I’m sorry.”

Thursday, at lunch, she laughed. It was Marcus Chen again, who had come by the penthouse for what he described as an informal meeting and what Elena recognized as another inspection. He was telling a story about a competitor, dry and specific, the kind of insider humor that required context she didn't have. Victoria wouldn't have found it funny. Victoria's humor ran toward wit and social satire, sharp and polished. She wouldn't have understood the punchline of Marcus's story because the punchline was quietly absurd in the way that only worked on people who appreciated absurdity for its own sake.

It started as a giggle, then tur‍ne‌d i​nt‌o a hyst​eric‌al, sh‌ak‌ing laugh. "W‍hat is funny?" I‍ de⁠manded, sitt‍ing up. "We are covered in shit."‌ "You‍," she pointed at me. "T​he great Lo‌renzo Moret⁠ti. The m‌an who‍ irons his s​ocks⁠.‍ Look at you‍." I looked at my h⁠ands. The​y were b​la⁠ck with grime.

The cashier is currently wrapping the purchases. "Well, this is what they call little happiness. Gosh! You, you're abnormal. Everyone our age is crazy about W*****d, but you? Jusko, where are your sweet bones, your thrilling flesh? Are you gone?" This is a sarcastic question to me. It's good to fight.

Another investor added, shaking his head, “If we don’t turn this around quickly, we risk losing more than just stock value. Our reputation, our partnerships - they’re all on the line.” Amidst the grim atmosphere, Jerry, the quirky consultant Damien had recently hired, leaned back in his chair. Jerry was known for his offbeat humor and penchant for making puns at the most inappropriate times. His presence had been a bit of an experiment, hoping that his unconventional approach might spark some creativity and lighten the mood. Jerry listened intently to the discussions, his face a picture of exaggerated contemplation. Just as the financial director finished presenting the latest disastrous fig

“My family owned this before but this is mine now and I manage this. They’re busy with their company” “That’s sick!” “You look really surprised” “I didn’t expect that from you. I thought you were a good-for-nothing jerk” “Hey! You’re insulting me!” “Am I? My bad” I jokingly replied. I know he’s not the type that easily gets insulted. He has deep humor and wits which makes him very versatile when dealing with words spitted out to him. “What about you? You’re alone?” “Uhm… ye---” “Zae!!”

I shouted the last part. To my irritation he laughed again. What is up with him? What does he think I am doing? Cracking jokes for him. This is getting on my nerves now. Firstly he is just blabbering nonsensical words then laughing at my sensical ones. Am I a magnet to attract psychopaths? " You have got a nice sense of humour and so as to what you are doing here.......that is for me to know and you to find out but don't worry it won't take us long to reach there.

I say. “Oh is that it..” He chuckles. “Well let me tell ya..” He stops for a while.. “Whoops sorry..” I faintly hear someone yell ‘watch where your going!’ I chuckle at his clumsiness. “As I was saying..” He pauses. “What was I saying?” He asks. “You were about to tell me something.. I don’t know..” I was grinning. “Well I forgot.. Now I’m sad.” “I don’t think you’ll remember any of it tomorrow anyway..”

I asked, "So, Miss. How is it going with the Dark humour guy? Any update so far?" "HA! Dark humour! He's the funniest guy, I've ever met. Didn't you hear that line of him? I mean he called himself motherfucker; oh my, that's the kind of humour I love. Every time he cracks a joke, it makes me head over heels for him. And not forget his awkwardness around girls" the sarcasm was dripping from her mouth. But that changed my mood. And we both started chuckling, "He's not that bad!" I exclaimed. Right? He's not that bad.

he muttered, almost to himself. The word should’ve stung. It didn’t. The way he said it wasn’t cruel it was bemused, almost fond. Like he was turning the idea over in his head, trying to decide whether weird was a dealbreaker or something he could live with. Like maybe, just maybe, he was trying to figure me out too. I decided to push back. Humor was my only reliable weapon in situations like this. “Weird is just another word for interesting,” I said, forcing a grin I didn’t feel. “You’re welcome.”
