Not sure why you're getting down voted, it gave me a chuckle. Clearly the humour is lost on the HN crowd.

- sctb 8y agoThis site is about gratifying intellectual curiosity, not gratifying the part that derives pleasure from seeing that someone else had the same utterly predictable thought.
- jexah 8y agoI didn't think of that particular joke, and I never mentioned up voting (in your words, gratifying). My mind was considering the topic at hand, and I felt the stark change of tone was nice. I like seeing some humour every now and then interspersed in threads. Some get up votes some get down votes, and your reasoning doesn't really explain why, since a common sense of humour surely indicates that lots of people would have thought of the same joke, and thus every funny joke on HN would be down voted?
