Saw this research done by some young ones testing how young vs old respond to jokes and other funnies. They found that young ones responded 6% better than the old folks. Well the research which was conducted by graduate student Wingyun Mak and psychology professor Brian Carpenter probably didn't take into consideration that old folks really don't think that everything that is so darn funny to the young ones is not funny to the old folks. All you have to do is watch a bit of TV aimed at the teens through the 30's or 40's and you find out what I mean. Its trash to me but highly rated "comedy" for the young ones. The other thing they didn't consider was one's reaction to hearing the same joke for the 23Th time. Hey, after the 13Th time it isn't funny anymore to us old folks.
