From Wikipedia:

Humour or humor (see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. The majority of people are able to be amused, to laugh or smile at something funny and thus they are considered to have a "sense of humour". The question of whether or not something is humorous is a matter of personal taste.

The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours (Greek: χυμός, chymos, literally juice or sap, metaphorically, flavour) controlled human health and emotion.

A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery".[1][2]

Many theories exist about what humour is and what social function it serves. It would be very difficult to explain humor to a hypothetical person who did not themself have a sense of humor already. In fact, to such a person humor would appear to be quite strange if not outright irrational behavior. Something humourous to an individual can be entirely repulsive to another. Among the prevailing types of theories that attempt to account for the existence of humor there are: psychological theories, the vast majority of which consider humor to be very healthy behavior; there are spiritual theories which may, for instance consider humor to be a "gift from God;" there are also theories that consider humor to be an unexplainable mystery, very much like a mystical experience.[3]

Thanks for your pitiful attempt at educating us

However, we do have a sense of humor.

We read the obituaries. We laugh out
loud, when an evil card collecting bastard
name appears.

Please make us laugh soon.
