wow, you folks hate jokes. It wasn't even an offensive one.

  Just as at work, I think a good joke is fine - as long as it comes along with some positive content. Otherwise it's just a distracting, meaningless noise.

  Wordplay jokes are very low on the comedy sophistication scale, just above puns, bodily functions, and inherently funny words. HN is just a tough room. You really have to step it up a notch or two, just to not get downvoted. For example, this is probably not quite good enough: Electron emancipation is fine and good, but electrons will never truly be free until they have the vote.

    Crowd of stiffs is stiff. Got it.
