The joke:Quote:
According to a new study published in the journal Cognitive Processing, your reaction could indicate your intelligence. In the paper, a team of psychologists concludes that people who appreciate dark humor defined as 'humor that treats sinister subjects like death, disease, deformity, handicap or warfare with bitter amusement and presents such tragic, distressing or morbid topics in humorous terms'may have higher IQs, show lower aggression, and resist negative feelings more effectively than people who turn up their noses at it.
Quote:
A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. "What are you drinking?" he asks the guy.
"Magic beer," he says.
"Oh, yeah? What's so magical about it?"
Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile.
"Amazing!" the man says. "Lemme try some of that!" The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof and plummets 15 stories to the ground.
The bartender shakes his head. "You know, you're a real jerk when you're drunk, Superman."
