@ponderable saidOnce, back in the 70s, I went for a job interview, and the first question was: Do you like good humor? I told the truth, and said: "I have to be honest here, sir, I can't really say if I do, because I never had any.

Indeed the "humopur" part wasn't recognised by many (including me, even after rereading I can't find the "humour".
However I shrugged it off, but then I am not a native speaker and have general problems with "pulling oens leg". Normally I feel that it is a cheap way to explain embarrasing ebhaviour (In that case I understood the "humouros", ...[text shortened]... ear with the addendum that it was not the case...but "humourous" would not hav eebn my description).
Sadly I was not hired. I was interviewing for the position of truck driver, at Good Humor Ice Cream Co.
From that day on, I started to have good humor, so that on the next job opening there, I could say yes, and then no, just to be consistently honest. Up until the mid 70s the ice cream was continually sold everyday on the streets with their colorful painted trucks, emitting an unmistakable musical box music, which could be heard before spotting the truck. The kids would run around trying to find it merely by sound. They only sell it in the stores now a days.
Has anyone ever seen those old trucks of Good Humor advertised?

@fmf saidHow about 'say nothing similar'? - How about instead, 'play the ball and not the person?'
