I'm a fan of dark humour too. It seems phony and overbearing for someone to
define guidelines oh what's funny or not. Mildly speaking, it's subjective.

If I were to write the document, it'd likely go no further than a paragraph.
I'll summarize:

"Tell the joke if you think it's funny. If you know it could lead to
unemployment or a broken jaw, then don't tell it."

By the way I can't find the address of your ftp server where you dumped the
magazines. Can you reshare it?
