I'm *completely* unfamiliar with either of these expressions. My loss,
no doubt. So, I'm lost WRT whether - or even how - there may be an
eggcorn. Does

"Of a naturally-humorous bent"

have the same meaning as

"Of a naturally humorous bend/bent _of mind_"

?

Or am I so totally off-base that I'm not even in the ballpark?
