Even if you disliked the original comment, this one is trying to clarify a joke. Now a serious question - is humor discouraged on HN? Because it's not the first time I run into something like this.

Insightful Humor? No. Humor just for it's own sake? Often. Shallow, 'meme' or mock-wit humor? Pretty much every time.

The rule of thumb is: If it doesn't add to the discussion, better hold on to it.

Humour seems to track with sun position. When the sun is above GMT votes for humour go up, once it reaches GMT-5 to GMT-8 humour get's downvoted.

Clever - so having failed to ban alcohol they just let market forces take their natural course and produce a beer that nobody would want to drink.
