Humorous Meme Explains Human Resources with a Sharp Twist

A viral image making waves on social media features a young woman dressed in a sailor outfit, complete with a white sailor hat inscribed with "AHOY". The woman, holding a large sign, stands in what seems to be an office environment. The sign reads:

"IF YOU LOSE ONE SENSE YOUR OTHER SENSES ARE ENHANCED. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOUR HAVE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE."

This image has sparked a flurry of reactions and discussions online. One user commented, "Umm, I'm sorry, as someone often perceived (wrongfully and hurtfully in my objective opinion) as humorless, I'll have you know that I have great distance to myself and am very good at simply not engaging with jokes that I don't find funny and not mistaking them for personal attacks."

Another user pointed out, "The idea your senses become stronger when you lose one is a myth not supported by science. The closest we get is that people get better at using their remaining senses but it's a trained thing which means it's not limited to just those missing a sense."

The witty quip on the sign has led some to reflect on their sense of humor. One user remarked, "Maybe you're not as funny as you think you are," while another added, "Having a sense of humor doesn't mean you find everything funny, any more than having a sense of smell means everything smells good."

Interestingly, the meme format itself has received criticism. A user expressed, "I really hate the abuse of this meme format," highlighting a sentiment shared by others who feel the template is overused.

On a lighter note, some have found the humor spot-on. One user humorously noted, "Conversely those with no sense of self-import are great at humor," and another confirmed, "Yup! Can confirm."

The image's clever use of humor to touch on human behavior, particularly self-importance, resonates with many. This blend of humor and social commentary has certainly left a mark, prompting both laughter and introspection in equal measure.

Umm, I'm sorry, as someone often perceived (wrongfully and hurtfully in my objective opinion) as humorless, I'll have you know that I have great distance to myself and am very good at simply not engaging with jokes that I don't find funny and not mistaking them for personal attacks (because I am an intelligent person, contrary to what this basic jab implies). I hope one day you will stop projecting your insecurities onto others like in this post, calling *me specifically* a self-important p****.

The idea your senses become stronger when you lose one is a myth not supported by science. The closest we get is that people get better at using their remaining senses but it's a trained thing which means it's not limited to just thpse missing a sense.

Having a sense of humor doesn't mean you find everything funny, any more than having a sense of smell means everything smells good.

This argumentation is often found among people who don't understand that their racist and bigoted jokes are offensive.

Is this why stupid people speak more loudly?

Conversely those with no sense of self-import are great at humor.
