This is a partial example of the more scientific Humor Preference Survey, which will be available shortly to selected individuals.

Privacy Statement: Contact information gathered by the Humor Preference Test will not be released to third parties without the express permission of participants. Participation alone will not reveal any personal information other than the above, privacy is assured. Disclaimer: The purpose of this survey is to identify and measure the humor preferences of different age and gender groups. It is not the purpose to identify the funniest joke. I found that many good jokes accepted multiple interpretations which makes them useless for identifying preferences; some bad jokes only appeal to the specific groups which finds them funny, this makes them ideal for the purpose of this survey.
