For me puritan culture is exactly what makes someone believe this is funny when it is not.

A kid does not find funny what it is not "tabu" or "forbidden".

"Not funny" doesn't mean "offensive".

Why do you allow mere words to have such control over you?

Have you never made a child giggle by blowing soap bubbles? Are bubbles taboo and forbidden?
