I always wonder about that one. It does come up on poll after poll but in practice, it often seems people end up fallng for something else. I suspect this is a case of those being polled replying what they
think they look for. Not that they're are lying as such but they've convinced themselves that sense of humour is what they are looking for (or feel they should be looking for) I'm nor sure how I'd go abuot doing research to test that theory though. The very issue defies traditional research techniques.
