   I'm a fan of dark humour too. It seems phony and overbearing for someone to   
   define guidelines oh what's funny or not. Mildly speaking, it's subjective.   
      
   If I were to write the document, it'd likely go no further than a paragraph.   
   I'll summarize:   
      
   "Tell the joke if you think it's funny. If you know it could lead to   
   unemployment or a broken jaw, then don't tell it."   
      
   By the way I can't find the address of your ftp server where you dumped the   
   magazines. Can you reshare it?
