Snark isn't the same as rationality.

Forgive my ignorance; so what is the most rational form of humor?

Note: Both of these comments are jokes and were intended to be funny, not snarky punishments for norm-breaking.

It turns out to be fart jokes. I have an elegant proof of this, but it is too long to fit in a comment.

Louis C.K. was deconstructing why farts are funny on the daily show the other day:

  1. They come out of your ass.
  2. They make a trumpet noise.
  3. etc

Argh, I can't believe that went completely over my head in both cases. Now that you've added the italics around "most rational" I can see it.
