[Ian Laughlin]

I have noticed that whenever anybody makes a joke, it is always at the expense of someone or something else. Does anybody know why that is?

I wouldn’t agree with this generalization. Thinkof jokes starting with ” A guy walks into a bar…” Politicians, athletes and other public personalities have chosen a lifestyle which makes them easy targets, but they are aware of that risk and many are very well paid, crying all the way to the bank. Sometimes humor is used to soften a truth that needs to be exposed, but political correctness and fear of litigation forbid an honest explanation. Some people who claim to be sensitive and liberal feel it’s ok to tell jokes about older people or fat people. Everyone has his own standards and we can control what we choose to hear on radio, tv, movies, etc. Just Curious
