It's something i've wondered for ages....
Serious discussion - why *DO* people gravitate towards filthy humour ?
Why do comedians prefer to say " shit " instead of either " crap " or " poop " ?
Why do so many new comedians just go on stage and talk about "fucking" ?
I think it's partly because it doesn't require any wit or intelligence and any body could come up with ten minutes of dirty material littered with dirty words.
