I would suggest copy and pasting a couple of quotes per month from a google search. And making contributions to controversial topics that are not inflammatory (at the expense of not having too much actual content.)
My impression is that quotes only garner a lot of karma if they’re heavy on the applause lights, though funny doesn’t hurt. Finding new quotes which are likely to do well sounds rather difficult.
My impression is that those of my comments which go over 5 karma are very likely to be jokes, and at least at present, I have no ability to tell which jokes will go over that well. This doesn’t seem worth trying to get stronger at, though perhaps the question is worth some thought.
Next to a user’s name, display average karma per post instead of total karma (Total karma could be available, but not put in such a prominent place).
That would give everybody an incentive to post fewer, higher-quality comments.
If I worried that much about karma, I’d be posting nothing but jokes.

Jasen would do very well out of this, with an average of over 40 karma/post! (including top-levels)
