I once took out a library book which was an analysis of humour.
About halfway through, I came to the conclusion that either I didn't understand the analysis or that the author didn't understand humour.
Possibly both.

Anyone who thought that the Anne Frank joke wasn't in good taste would be well advised to NEVER join the Royal Navy. The standard comment in that service, when someone is killed or maimed, is 'He shouldn't have joined if he can't take a joke!'
As several have commented, humour is sometimes a coping mechanism.
And totally subjective.

We know there are many similarities between Lincoln and Kennedy's assassinations. One more has just surfaced.

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

As a Christian, I'd say yes.

It's foolish to compare North Carolina with Nazi Germany.

The Nazis were *much* better dressed.

As Anne Frank's dad may have said

"Enough with the drums already..."

Santa,
May I have a drum kit for Christmas? I have been a good little girl and no one is annoyed by my whale tambourine anymore.
