It's simply because Data, like an Autistic person, does not understand irrational humor. Data doesn't see why someone's misfortune can be humorous. It's the same situation as the episode when Wesley Crusher accidentally got ice cream smacked into his face!

It is set outside the square sails, using stun'sl booms which run out along the yards. They came into use some time in the middle of the 17th century and by the beginning of the 19th century were usual on all square rigged sailing vessels. They started to become less common in the last quarter of the 19th century, as the economies of smaller crews and avoidance of damage to the ship's gear became more important than a fast voyage.
