Any joke you make, anything you laugh about, any comedy movie, does it at the expense of others. The 4 main categories of jokes are: 1. Religion, 2. race, 3. sex and 4. misfortune (includes stupidity). Within any of the above categories, the actual joke is to the expense of someone else Just send me one joke, or one humorous story, which is not at the expense of somebody else. This days of course, everybody gets terribly uptight about jokes of the so called minorities. However , it is of course quite ok for the minorities to make jokes about other minorities, or even better, about the main stream population. If I would get upset, every time I hear a joke about Germans or being called a Kraut, or even a bloody Kraut, by my fellow Australians, then I would be in the nut house by now. Just take it with a bit of humor yourself, and give back as good as you get. There is only one type of humor which is not at the expense of others: Laugh about yourself. Regards, Horst Schmidt
