Hit me the other day that was a staple of my youth, but would get you destroyed today, was this gem.

The author used a pseudonym for a reason.

From 1983: "All these terribly tasteless, disgusting books and films represent a breakdown of decency and of standards of taste," said Barbara W. Tuchman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian.

Martin Grotjahn, professor emeritus of psychiatry at the University of Southern California and the author of "Beyond Laughter," a book on the symbolism of jokes. "But in all jokes there is a disguised aggression, and racial jokes could be an invitation to racial hatred."

Dr. Grotjahn said that he would particularly advise against a non-Jew telling a joke about Jews or a white telling a joke about blacks. And one publisher said that he would issue a volume of black jokes only if the author were Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy or another well-known black.

But Professor Franklin of Duke disagreed. "I wouldn't accept jokes swept up from the gutter by Richard Pryor any more than from Blanche Knott," he said.
