I don't know where a sense of humour comes from or how you develop it. I know how you feel, though. I know I can amuse people in real-life but it can be very difficult to get things across in the written word because you're no longer in control of the timing (people read at their own pace). I more as likely don't even bother any more.
Also, people's humour can work in different ways and both can be equally funny. The two things that made me laugh most in the past 48 hours were totally different. One was character comedy by Valkeer and was funny because it was absolutely beautifully realised and it rang true (which was exactly what he was going for). The other was a tiny piece of surrealism by devilla which, the more you thought about it, the funnier it got. It was a small, perfectly-formed nugget of comedy.
It's quite possible I've laughed at loads of stuff you've written. It's rare that I comment and say something amused me, though. Something has to make me howl with laughter or spit my drink out.
