Not Funny

Eyes down here.

Welcome to this weeks Drop in the Ocean roundup, bringing you all the great posts shared in Mondays show.

Whether you are a bit more serious or the one cracking the jokes we are all capable of making people laugh. Whether you find yourself in a awkward situation or observing people going about their day, chances are you have had the pleasure of observing humour in unlikely situations bringing a smile to your face.

This week at Drop in the Ocean it was all about humour and I am happy to say that we had quite a few "Haha" moments during the show. So let us see the posts from this week as we dive right in.

The votes have been rolling in from the attendees of the show and we have the posts ready to share with you all.

The top two voted writers will 'level up'. When a member has leveled up, they will receive a daily upvote from the BuddyUP account at 50%. The member keeps their level for 2 weeks, unless they level up again on DITO within those 2 weeks. Every time you level up, you will receive an additional 10% on your daily vote, maxing out at level 5.

The writer with the most votes will be resteemed straight after this post. This is so we can all look back at the BuddyUP blog and see the winning posts from each week.

And the winners are...

Voting on the Drop in the Ocean posts have been opened to now allow every @BuddyUP member to cast their vote, instead of only those who attended. With all the votes in for this weeks Drop in the Ocean posts, we are happy to present the two who will level up this week.

A good overview of humour in all its forms. @Jan23com, in his own serious style, still includes a few funny lines for our benefit. Be sure to check out his post here

@Monchhichi23

Shares the importance of being able to find the humour in our daily lives. She also points out that during more challenging times, laughter is still good medicine.

Humor can be found in any situation and if not, then sometimes you simply have to laugh...

Not only pointing out the value of humour when times are challenging, she includes a great example using a humorous poem that uses traits held by a few of our @BuddyUP members

When life gives you lemons
You make lemonade
Let's add some tequila
And have a freaking parade

Our runners up for this week

Surprisingly, humour was very a difficult topic so thank you to everyone who still pushed through and created something to bring to the show.

Whether you can make people laugh on demand or respond to a serious situation with something that will crack granite, humour will show itself everywhere in our daily lives. Our members did a great job of showcasing all the aspects of humour. Be sure to visit their posts and have a chuckle... maybe leave a joke in the comment section.
