Actually, this is not funny, per se; it's a study about the
relationship between joke comprehension and age (it seems I still have
8 yrs before I lose it. Though, to be sure, I don't see the joke in the
title, so, I guess the deteriration process has begun <g>). I have some
reservations about the claim (''This wasn't a study about what people
find funny. It was a study about whether they get what's supposed to be
funny,'') and, therefore, about the results. Too bad the article
doesn't show what was on the test...
