"Divine" would then depend on whether you believe god made man and whether he had a sense of humour...

I found one definition that said: Humor is when an expected future is replaced with an unexpected future. The more unexpected the more humorous.

And another definition that said: Humor is surprise without threat or promise

If that is true, is it possible for god (assuming he exists for the moment) to have a sense of humor? Nothing would be unexpected or surprising to an omniscient being. You couldn't catch him off guard. It seems that there would be nothing that would strike him as funny.

Since "God" is obviously just a big human blowup doll, God can have a sense of humor. In fact, it must be an "omni-sense of humor" because he's God and so it must bigger and better.

Omni-sense...that's kind of funny. I'm sure god doesn't think so, though. His finger is probably hovering perilously close to the "smite" button right about now. 😉

Perfect reason for him to create humans then, make up for his inability.

Now he can experience it by proxy... 😉
