*Mike: "Gallows humor, but you make your point. In Thai/Lao culture it is mandatory to be polite (rudeness is ungrammatical). In Guatemala one always asks about the family first before business. In some cultures you make jokes about yourself but not about others. Humor like so many things is cultural. Thanks for insight into a world I know nothing about. " re "Testing...testing... [30 DBC entry]" 

?Cappucine: "I did enjoy these. They work best as a quip in normal conversation as there is no narrative. It's prolly Et-wœn Wut-wœn in Thai (d > t at the end of syllables; r > n). The first one is totally unexpected and gross and that's what makes it special. " re "Arf arf " 

Viv: "I don't watch American TV and when I watch programs from other countries I avoid mere juvenile silliness because I don't find it funny. So, I don't tell jokes. However, I do appreciate wit and anything that will make me smile. And there is plenty to smile about. " re "Joke, Laugh, Live" 

Robert: "Did not know the word gelotology, so I learned something. And audience... totally in agreement. I don't have the same sense of humor as most folks at WDC so it should be no surprise that I don't care for these types of jokes." re "Gelotology" 

Sonali: "Re HP emoticons/merit badges I suspect that there might be copyright issues but I would like to see one of each house. Although, what would an HP emoticon look like? "They wood" is perfect English in some dialects." re "Ha Ha Ha Harry - #30DBC" 

Sue: "Hmm... I find many young women here dismissive. So... it's funny to a point. Beyond that? It borders on hurtful mockery." re "Hilarious " 

QP: "Deer in headlights... very common. There will be another interview. Grandparents are special; nice that you remember." re "My Favorite Joke" 

Petra: " Neither do I when it comes to jokes." re "No humor!" 

Sox: "I travel... some things really aren't clear. But when in Barcelona ... learn a few words of Catalan." re "November 23, 2021" 

Sandy: "I grew up with those kind of jokes... which is why I'm not fond of jokes. Carrie collecting blond jokes sounds like fun fun though. Did she ever do the hair flip while telling them?" re "Just Kidding" 

Marvilla: "I have little sense of American humor. I don't tell jokes. " re "Favorite joke?" 

Ray: "Can you please hold my hand... " re "Dark Humor Is Like Food, Not Everyone Gets It"
