Rationale of the Dirty Joke by Gershon Legman is a scholarly study of sexual humour and taboo jokes, analysing why “dirty jokes” exist across cultures and what psychological, social, and linguistic functions they serve; it treats obscene humour as a serious subject of folklore and psychology, collecting examples and arguing that such jokes reveal underlying anxieties, tensions, and norms in society.
