my theory is that one of humor's main uses is as a way to compartmentalize things like horror and sorrow, and if you spend a lot of time becoming acutely aware of how much misery there is out there your sense of humor gets a lot of practice to compensate

EDIT: long way to say we are a little twisted around here, a bunch of jokers even, clowns who find the prospect of doing crime...humorous
