Well, I am a (trying to be devout) fundamentalist Christian, and so I shouldn't REALLY be answering this question in the affirmative...
But...True story. Just last week, I was mentioning to a couple of friends that I don't feel like a "real mom" because I've only, in my entire career of motherhood (one 14 and one 9) been required to clean up vomit ONCE, when the elder was a baby. And where was I all day Sunday and an extra day off work yesterday? That's right, inside my car, cleaning up (and trying to remove lingering odor of) 9 year old's sickness that had been flung throughout the interior Saturday afternoon. SICK sense of humor, indeed.
The boy had spent all afternoon at a friend's home (a good deal fancier than our home), and he had held it ALL in until I came around in our old beater to pick him up. We were still rolling down the friend's driveway when the torrents began, so I couldn't very well ask my son to lean out the window to upchuck, but then again, at least it didn't happen in the friend's house. "Behold the mercy and severity of God." (Book of Romans)
As for God laughing at me when I die...aka Pascal's Wager on a Bad Acid Trip....that part I'll have to answer honestly with, "I don't know." I believe in a God who is really almost too good to be true. Able to cause even the most evil things that happen to work together to cause good ultimately. All-powerful, and yet able to identify with our every weakness and sorrow. Able to right every wrong, wipe away every tear one day, infinitely merciful and kind, yet fully capable of the most cruel wrath against the persistently unrighteous.
There is absolutely no LOGICAL reason to discount the possiblity that when I meet Him face to face, he will say, "aha ha ha, SUCKER!". The same is true of anyone else I trust.

Since you spelled "god" with a small "g" it could be you are referring to some non-descript generic god. However, if you are referring to THE God well, you know, people die in a variety of ways and some of them are probably funny and some are not. Millions of people die every day. Do you think He'd take time to laugh at them all? Or were you just thinking you were so special He would think your death was particularly funny? The bible says God is loving and compassionate. But it doens't sound like you take time out to read the bible to find out who God is or what He is really like. And suppose God DID have a sick sense of humor. Since He made you, the earth, the universe and everything in it, He could pretty much have any kind of sense of humor He wanted to have and your little old opinion really wouldn't matter that much in the scheme of things now would it?

I personally think God has a great sense of humor. Humans on the other had have a lot to learn yet. God give us free will & we still mess things up!

I was created in his image and I have a pretty sick sense of humor so I expect it.
For example... The only time I had great boobies was when I was nursing my babies and if anyone touched them I squirted. What kind of sick joke is that?

No, but I do think he has a very good sense of humor. Why else would he create such an interesting world. Zebras, giraffes, glow in the dark fish, Venus fly traps...

No He doesn't have a sick sense of humor, when I die I don't expect to see him laugh rather those who don't believe in or whose thinking is corrupted by others of him and his commandments will wale and weep as it is man that changes and not God.

Who says God has no sense of humor?
He told the first JOKE didn't HE?
Two people ate an apple in a garden 6000 years ago, and today,
8,000,000,000 people have to go to hell for it!!!!
HA HA HA GET IT! GET IT!!!!!!
Don't worry, nobody gets it. Because it was twisted into a
lie of the Devils. And he doesn't exist.

Oddly enough, I genuinely believe that I have the same sense of humour as God. We certainly seem to laugh at the same things.
You know, war, poverty, death, murder, sickness. Ha ha ha haaaa.

What you mean you don't hear him laughing at you everyday? Don't you think that when you die he'll be able to fulfill his sick fantasy?

He's laughing at me now for sure. But no......he hates losing battles with life. He'll never laugh at a loss.
