I have an ex-inlaw that is the exception to the rule, but I get it. My characters tend to be witty, in that you-are-so-gorgeous-I-must-charm-your-pants-off manner. Banter, rather than jokes, I guess.

My own bio even states (and I believe everything I read in my bio) that I strive to combine the two. When I'm in the reader's chair, one of the best ways to engage me is to use a witty protag.

A good example of this, is the character, Dan Clifford, on Holby City.
