Wars and rumours of wars. Don't shoot the messenger: the jokes and rumours in here are awful. Especially the ones about the British.
One thing I found out while researching this, children:
Your grandparents or great-grandparents, depending on how old you are, told 'Little Moron' jokes.
This proves two things:
1. 'Dad jokes' are not age-dependent. They originated in misspent childhoods.
2. Political correctness is not new. The 'Little Moron' was a stand-in for the ethnic groups they did not want to implicate in these jokes. (In Pittsburgh, the Polish joke will never die because it is told only by Polish Americans these days.)

Sorry I missed this earlier - very topical.
Would you consider putting the text of the poem into the ALT? Is the flowchart Lies on one side and Opinion on the other?
Did the project find differences between the schools?
Thank you for saving us from the worst of the jokes.

Thanks for reading!
I put the text of the poem into the ALT>
Yes, it says 'Lies' and 'Opinion.' I put that text into the ALT, as well.
I don't know what differences they found because there's no analysis in the raw data in the database. (I looked, but couldn't find anything.)
You're welcome. I tried to keep it light, and as clean as possible.
