		<description><![CDATA[Ageism is bidirectional. Middle-aged people wield a disproportionate amount of political and economic power in our culture. This is unsurprising, since it takes time to accumulate prestige and since most people retire at some point in their lives. But when that power translates into automatic social capital, or when being middle-aged is seen as sufficient [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seburke.wordpress.com&#038;blog=5146654&#038;post=213&#038;subd=seburke&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Humorous messages use social axioms and shared knowledge as tools to tell stories, violate expectations, and make people laugh.
