It's not that women don't have a sense of humor, it's that we find different things funny. It's the Stooges phenomenon. Watching someone get kicked in the n#^s just doesn't make me laugh. But watching both versions of The Office does. Interesting point though--men are funny because they have to be and women are because they want to be (excepting Mr. Alex of course ;) Love the glove, and thanks for the link.

And when they are the butt of the joke, they think we're strange. Face it, men just don't get it. I had an aunt that never, ever forgot a joke - the dirtier, the more often she told it! God love her! That glove is spectacular! It's a colorway that only a mother could love. :D When humor is female-centric, men think we’ve gone off the deep end.

I feel truly hoist on the go-your-own-way-reinvent-the-wheel petard! I loved the ice cream cone story. Brilliant. And I haven't even followed the links yet. Oh, goodness!

Seriously, it looks like a studio shot of The Perfect Knitter's On-the-Go Projects. Gorgeous. And so is the glove, even if you did have to rebel a little. The button...oh, the button...is that dichroic glass? I swoon. (I Do Beads, too, so it and the glove together are serious eyecandy for me.) Tell Alex thanks for the laugh ::waves at Alex::, and thank you for the article link. I giggled at the first, and guffawed at the second. This guy has never snuck around and overheard women talking amongst themselves and making jokes about men, sex, bodily functions and life, has he? ::snerk:: Poor guy'd probably keel over in shock. (What are we betting all those researchers were male? [eg] Every woman knows we don't show our *real* humor around men, their sensibilities are far too delicate. One of the best jokes I ever read was on the door of a women's restroom..) My, what a gloss of professionalism and organization that bag casts!
