It might be that all the jokes that have been discussed have been bad,
and that's why they've been discussed.

I think the Java joke is kinda funny, but it's a name-based joke, which
means that the everybody else finds the joke surprising and funny, but a
Javanese person will have heard it a gazillion times before, so it
becomes depressing.  (Anybody with a "funny name" will have heard every
variation of the joke from any number of people.)

So I'd rather remove it.

And that's not a binary vote for "remove all jokes".
