What does it mean to have a sense of humour [despite onself]?

Answer 1

having a good sense of humour can be broken down into two meanings.

the first, literal meaning, means just that -- you have a good sense of humour. you can tell sarcasm from seriousness, jokes from literal tongue, etc. you know when somebody is messing around and when somebody is serious.

the second, common, means you are able to laugh at (just about) anything, including humour at your expense. you know when a joke is a joke and you can take it with a grain of salt and laugh about it.

even though this has nothing to do with religious affairs... /:)

Answer 2

Though this has NOTHING to do with religion & spirituality, it means that ever once in a while, we should be able to laugh at ourselves.

In other words, don't take yourself too seriously.
