12	What it means:	As the creator Stewart Butterfield-Booth says:
13		"It does not measure a person’s sense of humor (Ha-ha, gee, that’s funny!). It measures a person’s ability to produce humor and make other people go “Ha-ha, gee, that’s funny!” Some folks miss this source versus receiver distinction and that’s a big error. HO is a skill and if you’ve got it, you can whip it out anytime."
