As for dark humor being J&D'ing... here I'll disagree. To some extent
all humor is J&D. Be it shaggy dog stories or Henny Youngman one-liners.
Humor points up the rideculous, the pompous, the stupid, the
self-serving and the host of other traits we find easily in others and
disregard in ourselves. I'm fairly sure that's what Hubbard meant by
stating that laughter is 'rejection'. But I don't buy it as anything
even close to an absolute.

Humor is also a mixture of suprise, joy, genuine happiness and even the
process of an exceptionally sharp mind. Where's the rejection in that?

More to the point though, ARS'ers are perfect targets for J&D because
they tend to fall quickly into the patter of condescending humor and
terms that degrade Scn. The nice thing about humor and sarcasm is that
once a person commits themselves to that method of attacking an
opponent, they're wide open for counter-humor. I think anyone still
calling Scn's clams is mere fish bait and are showing more their own
lack of humor and intelligence than any real wit. You'd think if the
ARS-snobs were really bright, they'd have come up with a new joke by
now...
