Mother-in-Law Can't Take a Joke, Sues Comedian
Well, a comedian who just happens to be her daughter-in-law!
It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but comedian Sunda Croonquist’s mother-in-law Ruth Zafrin was not kidding when she filed a lawsuit against Sunda for telling so many jokes about her. Croonquist capitalizes on their ethnic differences in her envelope-pushing jokes — she is half-black and half-Swedish, was raised Catholic, and married into a Jewish family.
A Joke Can Cure a Bad Mood — But Why May Surprise You
We all know that when we're in a bad mood, a joke can temporarily lift our spirits. But Dutch researchers set out to figure out precisely why. And although you may think, as many researchers do, that it's because positive emotions counteract negative ones — the researchers set out to prove that it's more than that.
Do Tell: How Do You Respond to Sexist Jokes?
Over the years, I've gone from being the woman who uneasily laughs when a man tells a sexist joke to being the person who rolls her eyes and says, "You know, I don't find that funny, and it makes me pretty uncomfortable."
At the risk of being called a "humorless feminist" (I mean, if it were funny, I would laugh!), I think it's important for women to be honest if a joke makes them uneasy. It may also teach that person that you're not going to be a party to your own denigration, and the jokester may spare the next woman his "humor."

Do Tell: Do You Like Practical Jokes?
Practical jokes can be hilarious — when you're not the butt of them, of course! But in order to pull them off well, you have to have a certain sense of mischievousness, not to mention stealth. George Clooney is known for his practical joking skills, but if you don't have what it takes to excel in that department, something that was meant to be funny could take a nasty turn for the worse.

You Asked: Am I Being Too Sensitive?
Dear Sugar,
I've been going out with my boyfriend for about seven months. When we first met, one of the things that attracted me to him was his great sense of humor. He loved to poke fun at people and called them names - but the way he did it made it seem like it was all in good fun.

Joke Confuses Model
Some punk ass with a mic was in the mood to ridicule (or flirt with) a model, so he pulled this chick aside and told her one of the oldest jokes in the book. She knew the joke was on her, but that's about all she knew. To be fair, she mumbled something about being a stupid model— a wise assessment, indeed!
