Fuuny man, funny women

“Why are men, taken on average and as a whole, funnier than women?” inquired Christopher Hitchens in “Why Women Aren’t Funny,” Vanity Fair, January 2007.

That’s a good question. And by that I mean, fuck you.
~Elissa Bassist collects a bunch of writing by women from McSweeneys.net.


I wonder if McSweeney's thinks it's funny to publish in such a small font. You decide.

Men are certainly more unintentionally funny than women.

Not the women I know.

I could be lost for days again as I read those posts on the list.

Christopher Hitchens is hanging out with the wrong women, apparently.

Christopher Hitchens is, sadly, a prig. He writes well but he's got a bit of a stick up his ass.

i agree. he is a serious prig. plus, i think he's overcompensating for his small penis.

I'm funnier than my wife, but not as drunk as Christopher Hitchens.

Randal, just know that we all assume you have a bigger dick than Christopher Hitchens.

"However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: "She's a real honey, has a life of her own … [interlude for attributes that are none of your business] … and, man, does she ever make 'em laugh."

Well that is the dumbest ass statement I've read in a while. The simple answer to the implied question is, THE...MALE...EGO. No macho man (I AM NOT including myself here) would ever admit that a woman is as funny, if not funnier than he. Ever. He would consider that a threat to his maleness.

I don't.

I happen to be attracted to funny women and I consider myself a humorous guy. I can't imagine being in a relationship with a nitwitted female who simply listened and never bantered humorously with me. And, most importantly I find women as whole, a hellofa lot more sophisticated in their humor.

I may not be funnier than men but I am funnier than Christopher Hitchens.
