RE: Creative Writing Assignment - humor

The important thing to remember is that this is a multinational,
multi-ethnic, multi-gender, multi-sexual-orientation, etc, etc, audience.
Any joke you make must not offend any of them.

I agree completely with Chris. As has been pointed out endlessly,
posting to TECHWR-L is like speaking from the stage of "a large lecture
hall full of people in your profession."

If we avoided humor, it would be a damn sad lecture hall. Figuring out
which jokes to tell and how to tell them is a tough call that I've
gotten wrong more than once.
