True, but it goes further. Good humor requires seeing angles and thinking outside the box in unusual and surprising ways. Liberals are usually raised in an environment where unconventional thinking is deemed healthy and encouraged - out-of-the-box thinking that leads to a good sense of humor; conservatives generally are programmed to walk a narrow conformist line in many ways - to do otherwise is a threat to social order - which can stifle their creativity and sense of humor. Their ability to draw inside the lines is probably a good reason why conservatives do well in business while more liberals work the comedy clubs.
