Is anyone else having this specific problem? [View all]

I used to have a really good sense of humor, although it did lean toward the sarcastic side. I've been told how clever and quick on my feet I am - or WAS.

Seems like I am having trouble "getting it." "It" being jokes or retorts. I honestly have no clue. It gets a little embarrassing sometimes. Even with Sunday's LOL Cats post by SalmonChantedEvening.

I turn 72 this month. Has anyone else noticed this happening to them? I want my funny bone back, dammit!
