**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth says humour comes naturally and cannot be faked, and that he asks serious interlocutors to excuse his.

## Longer summary

Reading a message that calls him very funny, Mufti Abu Layth says humour is a gift that comes naturally to people in different degrees and cannot be faked without becoming cringeworthy. He says humour is something he loves about life and that he gets carried away with it, so that in serious one-to-one conversations with people of standing he first asks them to excuse his humour.
