Be able to laugh at yourself first.

After that, learn what is funny. 80% of a joke is in the delivery when telling it in person.

In written form it’s all about structure, timing and the punchline.

First step is to NOT be a female. I'm not sure I've met very many women with senses of humor.

Sense of humor is something you're either born with or not, it is that simple. Also it is usually only males that have a sense of humor.

Being funny is a social survival tool you develop early on. If you dont have it. Its too late.

Worked for John Wayne Gacy. And by most accounts he wasn't a natural comic.

That is not funny, that is just sad and pathetic.

Having a sense of humor means you can sense humor. Meaning you can “get” subtle jokes. I can’t tell you the number of times I’m watching a show or movie with the wife and I bust out laughing and she doesn’t flinch. No sense of humor. I got the joke, she didn’t. Now being funny to other people is a different story. But usually the two go hand in hand. And as others have said, you either have it or you don’t.

Women are incapable of sensing humor, they always look for the worst in things. That is why they never tell jokes and are never funny, they are incapable of comprehending fun, they are not very happy people. They are generally terrible people to be around.
