Perhaps the best indication that God does have a sense of humor is that He created man in His image (Genesis 1:27), and certainly people are able to perceive and express humor.
An example of God's humor is the instance in which the Israelites were using the Ark of the Covenant like a good-luck charm in taking it to battle, and the Philistines ended up capturing it and placing it in their temple before their idol of Dagon. They came into the temple the next day and found Dagon flat on his face before the ark. They set him back up. The next morning, there he was again, but this time he had his hands and head cut off as a symbol of his powerlessness before the God of the ark (1 Samuel 5:1-5). God’s putting Dagon in a position of submission to His ark is a comical picture.

Sure, but it's a dry, almost sarcastic wit. For example:
The plagues God uses in Exodus are sarcastic insults toward the various gods the Egyptians worshipped; consider what God says about idolators at Isaiah 44:16-17; and Jonah 1:2-3 has always reminded me of Count Tyrone Rugen running from Inigo Montoya in "The Princess Bride," except he's caught by God using a giant fish ...

God of the past, present, and future. It's all the same baby! Of course he has a sense of humor, if not then why did he create us with such great ones. (some more than others). He's an awesome God!

Just the opposite, actually, though Jesus seemed to show a spark of humor every now and again.

Oh heck yeah, just read his book. In on verse he's giving the commandment not to kill anyone, just before he tells you to kill EVERYONE, including women, children, farm animals, and even trees!
In the same book, he says he is his own son and father, and that he impregnated a virgin with HIMSELF while she was sleeping, then sent his homey to tell her all about it. This guy is hilarious!
Did I tell you about how he gave the first humans a talking serpent as a house-warming present, and then evicted them for listening to it?

Revelation was the first book in the Bible I read.
It wasn't until after I read the whole Bible that I realized it was all a joke.

NAW! He seems very tyrannical to me!!! Certainly the old testament God does; 'he' seems to condone slavery.
