    There is a theory that what humans laugh at always involves some real or perceived pain to someone or something. Slapstick comedy is obvious, but the really funny comedians can make us laugh at ourselves, themselves or others. Where we feel safest is when the person in pain is truly imaginary, such as Bill Cosby's Fat Albert. However, lately poking fun of real people or real groups has lost most of its taboo as well. If the target of humor is something about you that you are sensitive about, it's not funny, at least to yourself. You have a right to crack jokes about whomever you please, and the rest of the world has a right to think you are a jerk. By the way, have you heard the one about the woman from Georgia...
