Note: Kurt's talk page almost certainly isn't a good place to seek a broad or unbiased consensus on this question, nor is it the appropriate venue in which to request an exemption from a ban &mdash; and in all honesty, I'm not sure that managing such an exemption for the purpose of posting gags would be a constructive use of anyone's time. Perhaps it would be best to save the jokes for a time when you're once again allowed to edit in the WP namespace, or post whatever jokes you wish (within reason) in your own user space?
