For Our Dear Canadian Members

You really are challenged. Mount Rushmore is in South Dakota. Canada is about 500 miles away. In fact, Mt. Rushmore is so deep within South Dakota that your humor would not even be the view from North Dakota, but only from the other side of the Six Grandfathers mountains.

Jules,

I thought of producing a huge amount of scholarship that I have researched on fart jokes--not that I was looking for fart joke scholarship, but I kept coming across it in my studies of humor. But I decided why bother?

Still, I can come up with history, psychology, neuroscience and a whole bunch of other academic stuff about this if need be.

For example, I read somewhere (I would have to check to remember the source) that the earliest recorded joke is written in stone in ancient cuneiform. Seriously. And it's a fart joke. It goes something like this: A proper woman is one who does not fart when embracing her man.

:)

MM gets offended by fart jokes and more base humor.

Also, I suspect he has a dose of that Randian prejudice of laughing at oneself. She proclaimed that one must never laugh at the good, but only laugh at contemptible things and people. Her view of humor was that it is derogatory mocking and nothing else.

But Rand never went where people were laughing to pretend she was better than they were. She kept her prejudices on her own turf. I'm not sure MM would understand the difference in this, so I rag him for being a controlling prude only a little.

:)

Are you channeling the Grinch who Stole Christmas?
