The one who got away: Norwegian bin Laden humor (Part I of II)

Being an enormous admirer of Kathleen Stokker’s work, Folklore Fights the Nazis: Humor in Occupied Norway 1940-1945 (1995), I couldn’t help but take notice when anti-bin Laden jokes started filtering into my inbox. Most Americans, at least, have received more than their share of anti-Taliban, anti-bin Laden witticisms and manipulated images. As Stokker suggested of humor in occupied Norway, these kinds of jokes serve to bind citizens together in a common sense of patriotism and resistance. They not only inspire a light-hearted optimism in the face of tragedy, but also foreground expectant hopes in the directed search for the one who got away. So, how do Norwegian anti-bin Laden jokes figure into this scheme?
