Ergo, not all men are hard-wired to think they're funny. Stop generalizing. I'm a man, I don't think I'm funny at all. Ergo, not all men are hard-wired to think they're funny. Stop generalizing.

I laughed when I read the first sentence, "Men are hard wired to think they're funny." I tell my wife all the time I don't think I'm funny, I KNOW I'm funny. Great post.

I often told them they should take their show on the road as they were always bouncing jokes off of each other. Some days it was like being in a Monty Python movie. It was the most fun working environment I had ever been in. It was also the busiest office I had ever worked in. If you work in a high stress office, laughter is a necessity. My comedic duo has since broken up, but it has left me with a funny bone mentality when it comes to working. At one job the two men I worked for were very funny.

I am a funny girl.. I am often called "wacky". My mom frequently calls me "weird". I just think it sucks for them that they can't laugh as much as I do. I personally think that most men really do not have a sense of humor. Men always attempt to be funny, a lot of them act as if they are trying. People who try to be funny are not funny. I recently decided that being "weird" is better than being normal. Women always try to repress the side of them that they have no control over.. being funny is about saying whatever you think and not worrying what other people think. It's hard for a lot of women to not worry about what other people think about them. oh and im not gay either.. just a little wacky and a horrible flirt.. Interesting article..
