I think there is a fundamental lack of respect and understanding on this board for people who have had their senses of humor surgically removed. To the rest of you, it's just levity; to us, it's a painful reminder that everything should be taken personally and in the worst possible light. There's no joke, however innocent, that couldn't apply to someone. Therefore, jokes are a form of discrimination and oppression, a way for those with a sense of humor to put down those without. I feel I have to speak out about this important injustice!
In the words of our next president, well, read them for yourselves:
