My pick is my late father. He never lost his kid's sense of humor. Even in his declining years, he was never afraid to be silly. And he was a great storyteller. Everything that happened, however mundane, became a funny story. He was a guy who fantasized about dropping a bowling ball into a lake - from a hot air balloon.

She's now deceased.
She was my cousin, a no-nonsense, hard-drinking, tough-talking, colorfully-cussing, adventure-seeking gay woman who did all kinds of things like working on a Saudi Arabia oil rig if I recall correctly. She was down to earth, very challenging, very clever, very funny, very fearless, but died of liver failure.
I like the bowling ball thing there, My kind of company 👍
shareI had an uncle who wore a toupee and had false teeth.
He used to take out his teeth and leave them on the table or put them in a glass at the dinner table.
He would also make them "chatter". Scared the hell out of when I was a kid.
Another uncle who sounds like your father. Nothing but stories and jokes. Always had everybody roaring.
The chatter thing would freak me out, too. You left me wondering what he did with his toupee. Tie a string to it and drag it across the floor?? Dried it by attaching it to the car antenna?? Wore it on his chest when he went swimming??

Now that would have been funny!
He was very particular about his hair. You didn't touch it and you didn't even mention it.
Apparently his teeth were fair game.
🤔 Hmm. Joke teeth, but no-joke hair. That's different.
shareLove the idea of his tying a string to his toup and dragging it across the floor like a cat toy! But, I can understand why it was off limits and his teeth weren't. After all, there's the issue of hygiene.
I never got it either.
His hair was squeaky clean, his teeth....not so much.
Apparently his hair meant more to him than his teeth!
My brother. He has a wicked sense of humor. Sometimes I don't know if he is serious or joking. He's a great, funny guy.
shareMrs Neighbor has a twisted sense of humor, at times. She told Mr Neighbor that I had fallen and broken my leg. I can't remember why she thought it would be funny. It didn't get a rise out of him - obviously he knows her very well. She's pulled something similar on me a couple of times. I like a good joke or prank, but not one that sparks worry that someone is seriously hurt.
shareMy brother. He'll do anything to set me off!
