So this happened today. My friend put this meme on my Facebook page. To be clear this is the friend I make fun of in my act for putting only flowery, good, hippie-dippie things out there in cyberspace. So any photos of jars of honey, peace signs or blooming orchids that show up on your page can probably be traced back to her. She posts at like 6:00a.m. too before yoga. The whole thing is just unamerican?

Then my buddy Dan sends me a Facebook message asking me if I will do a radio spot because they are talking about a new study that suggests that men prefer women to laugh at their jokes than actually be funny themselves. Clearly the universe wants me to talk about it. So let's do this.

The study is probably true. But not because old movie stars are evolved and men are pigs. Well not  justbecause old movie stars ... Seriously the couples that work are the ones that perfectly blend an introvert and an extrovert. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are an easy example. It makes sense. No? You can't have two comedians dueling it out in a relationship. You need one person to deliver and one person to roll their eyes and blush with disbelief at what just came out of your mouth. Trust me. It's the only way it can work.

What stinks about the study, if it is true, is that women want their men to be funny whether or not they are too. It is a quality always listed when people ask those silly what do you want in a man Cosmo-esque questions - sense of humor. So come on boys. Catch up already.
