syrakusos Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 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 Troy Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 As a Canadian I see the humor in it MEM. Why do you have to be so literal on shit that does not matter, and brain somewhere in the Delta Quadrant on actual issues?"Shakes his head".

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 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.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
