Bleh

Yet another one of these "men vs. ladies, who's funnier?" stories, here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7153584.stm.

I could give a shit about the methodology here, or whether a unicycle rider is, in fact, the idea test of humor.

Let's cut to the chase: Men are funnier. Period, end of story. Ask Christopher Hitchens if you don't believe me.

love,

Kate

P.S. I've given this a lot of thought, and at this date, have decided would *much* rather be the gender considered comedy deficient -- makes it much, much easier to crack people up when they don't see it coming. Poor men, y'all got Robin Williams blowing your cover. First time in my life I actually have something for which to thank Ann Coulter.

P.P.S. When are the surly 13 and 14-year-olds of the world going to rise up and give Hitchens the beat down of all time? He's totally stolen their gig -- saying half-assed shit, then refusing to admit there might be another perspective. That's been the entire raison d'etre of young teenagers for at least 50 years, and now Hitchens has razed all the usual topics to rubble. Mother Teresa wasn't so great; Hanukkah is a shitty holiday; we should scrap our government and start over. Not to mention the ballpoint pen tattoo of the Van Halen logo on his left hand. Jesus, dude, hurry up and die of alcohol poisoning before you ruin being a teenager forever.

My 22 year old daughter is the funniest person I know. This has been confirmed by dudes who say "Dude, she's funnier than a dude." Which she is. At least if the dude is Hitchens.
