Are you having enough fun?

It occurred to me that maybe we are not having as much fun as we think we are. Or maybe we are having more fun than we think. Lest this question is keeping you up at nights, I am about to come to your rescue!

This is a very simple and fun little test that I've designed to measure your happiness quotient. You know how these things work, right? 1 means never, 2 is hardly, 3 is neutral, 4 is most of the time and 5 is just about always. Ok, let the fun begin....

People smile when they see me? 1 2 3 4 5

I smile when I see strangers 1 2 3 4 5

I laugh (daily) 1 2 3 4 5

I have fun at work 1 2 3 4 5

I have fun at home 1 2 3 4 5

I share funny emails 1 2 3 4 5

I have celebrations for special events 1 2 3 4 5

I tell jokes 1 2 3 4 5

I do silly or goofy things 1 2 3 4 5

Others tell me jokes 1 2 3 4 5

I am optimistic 1 2 3 4 5

Ok, the test is over, add up your score. Here's how to rate your score;

40 or above: Congratulations you are either extremely happy or seriously deluded. Either way, good for you, you are invited to my parties.

30-40: You need to lighten up and have more fun. Sorry no invites to the party until you shape up.

30 or below: Amigo you have a bad case of terminal seriousness. Your life may not be a long one, but it will seem that way!

That's it class is over, I expect you all passed with flying colors. Don't forget when you come to the party to bring a really nice present for the host (me).

P.S. Those who know me personally may have reached the conclusion that I purposely slanted the questions so that I would score highly.... You didn't think I was going to take the chance of failing my own test did you?
