Does anybody in the Bible have a sense of humor?

Since when is it necessary to know if anything in the Bible is humorous? All people have a sense of humor in their own right, but the scriptures are serious business.
You can always write a fictional account of the Wise Men and make them a funny lot if you're so mind to do so.

The Bible does not specify there were 3 wisemen, it simply says "wise men". And, I don't find anything that tells personal information, like whether or not they had a sense of humor.
... there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, (Matthew 2:1)

Everybody does. Imagine these three wise men sitting around their campfire in the desert at night where they stopped to spend the night during their trek to Bethlehem. While sitting around the campfire it snaps and crackles, and a spark pops out and lands on one of the mens' foot, He will naturally jump up and shake his foot, and the other two are going to laugh at the man's discomfort. Human nature.
Now, maybe no verses. Do we need a verse for this? I think we can safely assume they had a sense of humor.

The funny thing is there were not necessarily three wise men, but the wisemen brought three types of gifts, also they were not recorded at the birth but later at the house they were in when Jesus was about two years old then, that's why Herod had the babies murdered from two years old and under, trying to kill Jesus, he goofed! isn't that funny?

They were magis. That means they were clergy of the Zoroastrian faith. No,no verse,but they must have gotten a chuckle about being the first to anticipate Jesus as God in the flesh. Especially with all those Jewish guys around,and what with that whole bunch being so religious and all.
