As long as they're actual laughs and not just fodder for knowing smirkiness. The almost-objective fact is that the jokes I've put here are ten times funnier than any of your obscurantist and rather cynical essays. Life is a vale of tears and so PLEASE may we have just one thread reserved for good old belly-laughs. And one more thing. If I see the word "Trump" in a so-called joke I just know that the thing will be totally bereft of any quality even remotely resembling humour.
