Here's my nominee for "Dumbest Headline of 2005". ;)

Funny humor is the best kind of humor, IMO.

I am thinking "May" be the key word in this headline.
"Here, pull my finger" never works 8-)

Do women enjoy sex more, too, if it's funny?

Reiss' research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Who funds the National Institutes of Health?

Women seem more likely than men to enjoy a good joke, mainly because they don't always expect it to be funny. "Seem" and "likely" are the key terms here.
And between you, me, and everyone else on this good Earth, I can't imagine why anyone would want everyone to know that they didn't know jokes are supposed to be funny. I mean, how much brain thrust are we talking about here?

Does this explain why there are no good comediennes?

Women always feel sorry for the target of the joke - the Stooges are all about humiliating the target of the joke. Ergo, men love them - women hate them.

Not true. I love the Stooges.
Then again, I am not a typical woman. I am a rabid Football and racing fan. I love boxing and UFC.

Then again, I am not a typical woman. You are a self-confessed Raider fan. There is thus a perfectly natural question whether you are even a woman at all. ;)
