Well, I can have fun about many things, like people doing stupid things, including me. Funny books are also nice. Or jokes. I used to say the fun is everywhere around you. Look at all the people in the traffic jam early in the morning, trying to get in the office in time to work a whole day for their unpleasant boss, getting minimum wage.
People usually are stupid, they're like sheep or cows, following the leader and obeying the leader. A lot of jobs don't even make sense. We produce a lot of stuff nobody really needs to survive, but everyone buys it from time to time. Like balloons, who needs those? Okay, they're fun to have around, but we can live without it. Candle's where there's electricity? Paintings?

You don't understand FUN, if you query the items you mentioned. Remember there is also job creation, for the unemployed who wants to work, that is!!!!!

why do people want to work? To make money. What do they do with the money they didn't need for food, clothes, tax, rent, electricity and so on? They buy alcohol, tobacco, drugs, go on expensive holidays or buy things they really don't need. They have maybe 300 playstationgames at home, duh. They'd better go out in the forrest, enjoy the now coming spring, enjoying trees getting back to life, birds and other animals getting their babies etc. And that is all free. You don't even pay tax to see it. I think that should it be what life's about, in stead of sitting at home alone doing things like playing games or posting on CS. It's just a waste of time for those who have nothing better to do and don't want to get bored. I know, I'm one of those losers too as everyone here.
Life was quite simpel about 10000 years ago I guess.
My point is, we're never happy or greatful for the things we have, we always want the things we don't have.
So if we're not happy with the things we have, how can we have fun?

Yes, be gratefull for everything in your life, because tomorrow may never come. Live in the moment, but still plan for the future, as you never know what may happen!!!
