Yes but that is because they were scared of him. I didn't say that extremists didn't try and make jokes.
Question is did he crack up at anyone else's jokes?

I believe Churchill & Eisenhower made him laugh, once!

Has there ever been an extremist with a GSOH? I doubt it

The Roman dictator Sulla ( http://www.nndb.com/people/285/000097991/ )
had a sense of humour, albeit on the grim side.

Why a lack of a sense of humour is fatal

Has anyone ever noticed how Islamic jihadists, Christian fundamentalists, political tossers etc. never have a good belly laugh. The ability to laugh at oneself is one of the traits of a well-adjusted personality and prevents anyone taking themselves too seriously. It also shows that you're mature enough to understand the basic absurdity of the world.
