Women get more joy out of humor

"Women get more joy out of humor"

I thought the headline read "Women get more joy out of hummer."

For a second I thought the article was about, er, sport utility trucks or something.

If that's the case, why don't women get 'The Three Stooges'?

why don't women get 'The Three Stooges'?

Oddly enough, I knew a few women who "got" the Stooges. Very sensual women. Any connection? Haven't a clue, but any women who liked the Stooges got my immediate attention.

[Dashing Dasher]

Because it's not funny.

I don't believe this for a minute. My ex didn't have much of a sense of humor, neither did a recent girlfriend.

A guy walks into a bar and notices that the bartender and patrons are all women and BLONDE.

He sits down at the bar and orders a long neck. He then says, "Does anyone want to hear a Blonde Joke?"

The batender growled, "Mack! this is a lesbian bar! Judy on your right is a MotorCycle racer. Brenda is a female wrestler. Ashley is a high iron steel worker. Shirley drives an 18 Wheeler and I'm the state arm wrestler champion who broke my male competitor's arm.

The guy looked around and said, "Well, Okay! I don't want to hafta repeat it 5 times!"

[LdSentinal]

You must have seen the Curly Joe episodes. He sucked.

[Dashing Dasher]

Okay - maybe I'll give it another chance.

Maybe.

I am a woman and I always loved The Stooges

And the word is sensuous

[Lawgvr1955]

And the word is sensuous

You are correct. A thousand pardons. Objects are sensual, women are sensuous. (I remember that from the grocery store scene of Animal House).

[apackof2]

A thousand pardons

Thank you

I remember that from the grocery store scene of Animal House

Me too!

"Because it's not funny. "

Oohhhh...you awful, terrible person.

[saganite]

My primitive male humor center though that was damn funny. LOL!

[Lawgvr1955]

Animal House

I like to consider myself a "with it" man of the world, but I must confess, I lost track of the number of times I have seen "Animal House". When I lost count, I had seen it 67 times.

Yes, perhaps I should get a life.

Being from Illinois, I still hate Illinois Nazis.

[Dashing Dasher]

HE HE HE!!!

[Lawgvr1955]

primitive male humor

Is that consider a redundant statement?

[ChefKeith]

I thought the headline read "Women get more joy out of hummer a rabbit;O)."

[Dashing Dasher]

That makes me laugh!

You are very, very Bunny.

""Women appeared to have less expectation of a reward, which in this case was the punch line of the cartoon," Reiss said. "So when they got to the joke's punch line, they were more pleased about it.""


This cries out for an analogy with sex.
