Humor is to men what beauty is to women. A ticket to instant attention from the opposite sex.

In general, women don’t want to date a man who is more attractive than they are and men don’t want to date a women who is funnier.

To many men the definition of a woman with a sense of humor is a woman who finds him funny.

So you’re saying that Lucille Ball wasn’t loved by Ricky?
Or Carole Burnett’s hubby doesn’t find her attractive?
Or Jill Connor-Browne isn’t found super sexy, funny and lovable by her much younger and cute as heck husband?

Golly,
if I had to choose between humor and having a man....
I’d think I’d choose humor....
Granted, with a man around there might be more to laugh about ;)

Perhaps a More accurate transcription:P> "I personally believe that us Americans
are unable to do so because Osama."

"People out there in our nation don't have that,
And I believe that our education
like such as South Africa and
such as the Iraq.
everywhere 'such as'."

"And I believe our education
should help the US should help the South Africa
and the Iraq
and the Asian countries
so we can build up
our future."

...the funniest joke I've heard in years.

Heard a comic tell this one: A man is walking through the field one day and talking to God. "God, why do you make women so soft?" God answers "So you'll like them." Then asks the man "God why do you make women so beautiful?" And God answers "So you'll like them." The man stops and looks a bit puzzled. "Well God," he asks "Why do you make women so stupid?" And God answers "So they'll like you."

I’m speaking in general.

Personally I find women to be as funny as men. But it’s not unusual for men to claim that men are funnier than women. Christopher Hitchen’s wrote an article in Vanity Fair recently about this very subject. Hitch was in a quandary to why women just don't tickle his funny bone. Cause he's such a laugh riot.

And don’t forget Ricky cheated like the dickens.
