True, but I would have. I put the "phom" in "sophomoric". (Case in point.)
aelfie and I were talking about this just the other day. She pointed out that I have a very sophomoric sense of humor. I cannot possibly deny that when a major component of my music collection is "novelty/parody songs." ("I say if a novelty Christmas song is funny once, it's funny every time!" -Calvin) Back in college, I had a Dr. Demento collection which had all in a row "I'm Looking over My Dead Dog Rover", "Dead Puppies", "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road", and "Fish Heads". This resulted in my dorm neighbors exclaiming, "Augh! Enough with the dead animal songs!" Heh, heh, heh...
Then we were speculating that CJ's sense of humor is often around eighth-grade or so. Now that I'm typing this, I recall that this is not an original observation, but one that I read here in her journal a while back. Or something similar, since I'm too lazy to look up the reference.
I usually say my sense of humor is that of an eight-year-old boy. (The bodily function jokes, basically.) You're absolutely right, though, that I reach eighth grade on occasion. (The functions of two bodies jokes.) :-)
Like I said, I was too lazy to look up the reference. I had the number "eight" right!
I also think it's a matter of where we're talking. The eighth grade humor tends to be outside work environments, while the eight-year-old is inside. Just as a trend, not a rule.
CJ's sense of humor is only eighth grade when she's not around me. When she and I collaborate, both of our senses of humor drop down to around third or fourth grade level. Boogers! Farts! Poop jokes!
Right. If CJ & I are in a room with you ... you're the person in possession of the most sophisticated humor. Highly disturbing.
Fortunately, this ONLY applies when BOTH CJ & I are in the same room. If either of us isn't present, you revert to your more comfortable lowest common denominator position.
I probably could have phrased that last sentence a bit better.

It isn't pretty.
But it's fun for us.

And now I've wrapped the thread right back around to the original topic. I believe that is at least as good as Godwin's Law.
