It's hard to sustain that kind of commitment... so we need to form a Humor Advisory Committee. Their job would be to 
determine which behaviors the community finds most humorous. When the community doesn't produce enough material, the 
comedy HAC would write jokes on our behalf (for adoption by John following legal assessment, board approval, etc).

Cheers,
-Benson

Suggestion received and needing confirmation:

That ARIN or a party it designates assign one or more sense(s) of humour to the CEO.


I believe this suggestion suffers from being too non-specific,
and could lead to unintended consequences.  ARIN could,
for example, assign John a slapstick comedy sense of humor
and all the chairs at the next meeting would have a whoopee
cushion.  And do you really want John taking on the role
of a Don Rickles as an insult comedian?

And, of course 87% percentage of the population believes
that they already have an above average sense of humor
(and 62% of the population believes any statement with
a statistic in it).

I would recommend that this suggestion be revised
with community input into what type of humor can
achieve a community consensus.
