Funny Happy Statistics


Image by Ohmega1982 via freedigitalphoto.net


A recent survey by some social site called Badoo
The old U-S-of-A was ruled #1
and I must agree, here we like to have fun!
The thing is, we came in first of fifteen.
Leaving some countries out seems sorta mean.

North Korea also decided to gather some information
They ranked China first and themselves in second
which was not exactly the results that I reckoned...
but then again, not super duper surprising
to discover a TV poll was just surmising.

It seems re: happiness, they make up the numbers
that will most appropriately justify their plunders.
I hope you won't frown now that you know.
I'd rather your happy meter lean "to" and not "fro".
If I must join in their game to conquer your frown,
for making up a few stats of my own I am down.

In my not-so-careful qualitative research I have found
the following statements mostly true all around.
41% of the world is fairly happy.
23% of all people know how to act sappy.
Add the 12% that are actually funny to lead the crew
and they could bring smiles to someone who's feeling blue.

Hmmmmm... I still don't feel quite right fudging these numbers
even though happy smiles are the goal of my plunders.
Perhaps you'll comment below with what you think is true?
Who is funniest and happiest and what do they do?
If you'd be so kind as to leave your responses with me,
the world will have more accurate funny happy statistics to see.
