Social Work Jokes and Fun Stuff

All About Web Humor

"Every workplace has that one guy—the guy who always finds the weird video on the net and instant messages it around the office to everyone (except the boss). The guy who sends out mass emails that are ACTUALLY funny. The guy whose funny Web finds seem to eat up about half your afternoon.

Well... I'm that guy. And why not? I like being that guy. The list of websites I comb through every morning is well into the thousands. I like sitting through hundreds of bad, awful, unfunny Web videos because I know that eventually I'm going to find one truly hilarious one.

And if I can find that stuff before everyone else and deliver it straight to you? Even better. I wade through all the muck on the Web and find the gems so you don't have to."

Evaluation of Humour in Emergency Work
Emergency work can be distressful, but in recent years there has also been a growing number of publications which recognise the positive aspects experienced by emergency workers. This paper identifies humour as a coping strategy which contributes to emergency workers' adjustment to difficult, arduous and exhausting situations. We argue that humour enhances communication, facilitates cognitive reframing and social support, and has possible physical benefits. The authors believe an important delineation needs to be made between a healthy use of humour and humour that is used to mask feelings in a way that will cause later distress.
