Did ya ever notice how one day you can make a joke and everyone in the family laughs, male and female. But later on in the month you make the same joke and the reaction by half the family just isn't pretty at all.
Well, according to the "latest" article regarding those monthly funny times, men have those amusing times too, so the article states. So it could actually have been the male half that didn't find it funny.....I would like to think so......are we laughing yet...........
Hmmm. Men are from Mars? With The Other Half Of The Human Race humour is very circumstances dependant too.
Chris and I were kind of talking about things on the way to housegroup tonight. We are VERY different. She's disgusted by rude things, I'm interested in them. She finds smutty humour crude, I find it amusing. She's blissfully unaware of all the little undercurrents between sexes, where they light up like Christmas lights for me. Actually she's a good moderating influence on me, in so many areas.
This came up because we were discussing a film our children had wanted to watch (Not another teenage movie) and we had said NO! Chris found the opening unbearably crude, where I just found it a little tedious and over the top.
Guess it's rather like Blazing Saddles. We had this playing on the PC Christmas before last. My mother walked in during the campfire/beans scene. "I can't see what ANYONE would find funny in that". Cue children rolling on floor and me doing my best to contain the greatly increased mirth.
So, let me guess - the female half didn't find it funny? Tell it again in a week or so.

I don't think I'd still be alive if I had married someone like me!!
ReplyDelete....if you were really a sensitive kinda guy, you woulda known when NOT to make the same joke again.......
ReplyDeleteSorry Robyn - there's a mismatch.
ReplyDeleteYou used the words 'sensitive' and 'guy' in the same sentence. We don't do that.
I bet you leave the toilet seat down too ;-)
uh Robyn,
ReplyDeleteyou didn't find that funny? ...
