Absynthe, I suffer from this as well! Absolutely nothing worse than "losing it" in an inappropriate place, especially something solemn like a funeral.

There have been many times when I have, as a moderator, been called on to "chastise" someone in a thread, and have done so while snickering so hard over the joke they pulled in the first place I could barely type. Unfortunately, not everyone has a sense of humor on this forum, and we have to constantly monitor for things that may be offensive to some, although not to everyone. Do realize that just because I or another mod may have to curtail a thread, didn't mean we didn't get a flaming kick out of it. A lot of times we're called on by others, or when it's a clear breach of forum policy.

I can probably count on one hand the number of topics I've found truly offensive here at IW. Most of them were "flame" related and have long since been resolved, so 'nuff said on that.

If I remember something inappropriate that I guffawed at, you can bet I'll post it here!

Cheers,
