The opening of this Wall Street Journal article is the essence of the topic: "Should you be funny at work?" And that leads to a few essential points, one being that it's way, way too easy for a stray joke to lead to H.R. getting involved because someone got offended. Another is that sometimes what's funny to one person isn't to another, and that can cause especially awkward moments in the office. Oh, and let me break this to you gently: Most people who think they're funny aren't. Maybe just talk about the weather. (Wall Street Journal)
