People didn't believe when I said, humor shows your social status. So, now, I present proof by quoting two famous people.
"What we are often doing with humor is comparing ourselves with others
we consider inferior by ridiculing their intelligence, their social
standing, and their physical infirmities."---Melvin Helitzer, from his book "Comedy Writing Secrets".
Also From Freud: "A good bit of humor is oriented to maintaining the status quo by
ridiculing deviant social behavior and reassuring the majority that
their way of life is proper...it is used as a weapon of the 'ins'
against the 'outs'.'
