Extraterrestrials have a well-developed sense of humor.

A sense of humor plays a vital role in energy discharge and balance. Therefore, we like the company of people with a sense of humor.

A sense of humor is not an emotion, although it does affect emotions. It turns out that a sense of humor is not unique to humans. Studies also indicate a sense of humor in the animal world, especially in developed species, in a different way from that of humans.

Since aliens don't have human emotions, I wondered whether aliens have a sense of humor.

The answer was that extraterrestrials have a well-developed sense of humor, obviously different from that of humans.

I found many jokes about extraterrestrials, but I looked for jokes that aliens exchange among themselves about humans and couldn't find any, so I composed an alien-human joke.

• An alien from a distant galaxy, the race that evolved from a mantis, meets his 100-year-old granddaughter ahead of her high school entrance exams. The grandfather examines the granddaughter with difficult questions and, in the end, emphasizes that she is much more intelligent than Newton, Einstein, Tesla, and Elon Musk combined. The granddaughter laughs and tells Grandpa they might have had a chance if they had tentacles.

When I asked if the joke was offensive? I was told no. I wondered if the joke was funny, and I was told they were not laughing at it but at my attempt to make an extraterrestrial joke.

• I told them that my late father, peace be upon him, would tell plank jokes, in all seriousness, and would repeat the same jokes repeatedly. The jokes were so unfunny that we would burst out laughing uninhibitedly. So, if they laughed at my joke, I achieved my goal!

The response was that if I had tentacles (like insects) on my head, I would have gotten better at the jokes, and maybe I would have had a chance!

• I realized it was a joke and laughed. I said one zero in their favor. I now understand that you can't play poker with extraterrestrials.

I'm certainly not the only one communicating with extraterrestrials, but how many humans exchange jokes with extraterrestrials? I guess there aren't many. I left feeling encouraged and happy. At least we will be pleased with the upcoming encounters. The channel was full of humor and laughter, and I felt terrific.

Humorous stand-up shows of extraterrestrials with humans during peak viewing hours? Why not!
