Please send me your list of appropriate subjects for humor. I'd hate to offend someone in the future.


haha.

see now that's funny. your asking what's appropriate.

because you obviously know how soon after a local murder to post jokes about it, and how often in a day to post jokes about it, and how long to persist posting jokes it, and you'll know when to stop. and not only that, but you seem to know all this -- without asking -- in tandem with several others onlist doing exactly the same thing.

it's easy to turn this into a question about what's funny or what's appropriate, but perhaps it's about something else. I don't know yet what that is, but I think, as you suspect, it's related to how people behave in groups, where they locate themselves in the context of a larger group.
