Duke Research Advantage

We can always count on Dan Ariely to help us view situations from a different perspective. Election day is no exception, and today the New York Times featured Dan’s study of how liberals and conservatives react to jokes. The results? People who describe themselves as conservative enjoyed all varieties of jokes more than liberals.

Here’s one of the jokes from the study:

Husband: When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?
Wife: I clean the toilet bowl.
Husband: How does that help?

Wife: I use your toothbrush.
