I don't know what we are talking about, but a recent (not most recent) Nobel Prize winner in literature, a Canadian woman, said somewhere, "Men fear that women will laugh at them. Women fear that men will kill them."

Many a joke have been murdered in history and in recent times.

In order to see the reason stated in the quote, which is to see that not laughing is a display of devotion to God, please consider that there is not one joke in the Bible, New and Old Testaments alike.
