You know, my dad is one of those. He's really a humorous guy, but ya just don't see him laugh that often - it doesn't mean he isn't enjoying the show, his threashold his just different than most.
You're right, though - never give up! Although you have to learn to pick your battles. Case in point: last weekend at spook train, Wolfman (yours truly) saw someone on a phone so I proceded to mock her by holding my fingers to my head faking like i'm talking on a phone. It went over big, the crowd around and the cell phone user were laughing hard - the cell phone user even held the phone out for me to talk - to which Wolfman gave a good howl. So, later on in the night I spot another cell phone user and try the same thing - she doesn't seem to be as responsive, but the crowd around is enjoying as before. Then the lady with a gruff gritty voice started to cuss at me and told me to leave her alone. WOW. If you're going to be in a bad mood, stay home from the haunted train ride. Wolfman, in classic entertainer style, cocked his head at her with an inquisitive look and moved along. No sense wasting good entertainment on someone who is in a foul mood!
