When the Jew walks into the bar, he is essentially traveling from oppression to societal ritualization.

From "Humor Neutral: Post-Modernism, the Prisoner and the Construct of Culture":

One can see the implication of oppression into the standard concepts of humor. When the Jew walks into the bar, he is essentially traveling from oppression to societal ritualization. As such, we can learn about society's repression by who does NOT walk into the bar: the man in the dress, the gender-neutral, etc...

As such, humor functions not as a source of laughter but as the signaling of the unacceptable into acceptance; with this in mind, Humor Neutrality functions as preparation for a culture's progression...
