period.

incontinence and period jokes are great for women to laugh at

once i was hanging out with a girl and she started acting all crazy, naturally i said 'damn girl, you on your period?' she just laughed and wasnt offended at all! which is tremendous if it was a true story.

[pianistimo]

women are highly perceptionistic - and the times that we live in are cause for seriousness.    you never know, it could be a woman that saves you from a catastrophe.  just like cats that percieve danger and let you know.  or (*not comparing this animal with women) like the elephants that saved the guide and tourists in malaysia.  they sensed the tsunami as it was headed for land - and broke their chains and rescued everyone with them by not listening even to the guide who kept telling them to stop (and not go with their perception).

Well, see, we are actually quite wonderful in different ways at all times, even when our Auntie is in town.  It is mainly a matter of men not having the faintest idea how to handle us that causes the problems  .

I was curious if anyone would catch who she was. Yep she makes Houston infamous. Makes me proud to be a Houstonian. WOOHOO!!!!!

That's completely true! I hadn't thought of it like that before. And as to girls having no sense of humour, some of the most easily offended people I've ever met are men.

Yes. We can't get enough of them. Oh please, let's hear one!










Please don't take that literally.

How about a guy walks up to a girl and does something stupid and she's around a bunch of guys and she all acts likes she's insulted or whatever, but then he does the same thing when she's out in the open and around a bunch of her friends and she's all like

*ah bob mah head to immitate*

Do with this information what you please

Yes.  The lady who was just as much a victim as the children, but who society chose to punish again, out of our sadistic greed for vengeance.

I completely agree with this. There is nothing worse than someone saying you of lack a sense of humour simply because you don't find them funny. It's mostly (only?) men than do this.

[gorbee natcase]

Men never grow up, Maturity is a front to cover there ever twisted minds Humour is a way in which we vent this or we would be quite obnoxious/ Some people are :

[pianistimo]

dear tim42b,  i sort of agree about societal vengeance.  i mean, in certain cases if a person is REALLY psycho - they probably need counselling more than prison, but so people don't go around killing their children, she was made an example of.  what i don't understand is why she didn't ask for help.  maybe it was her husband's responsibility to keep on top of her psychologically - and not leave the children with her when she was not feeling right.  i don't know.  he seemed very surprised, himself, though - so i feel badly for both of them.

dear rimv2, you said a guy walks up 'and does something stupid...'  if the girl is already talking to a group - that is basically being childish to try to get her attention when a conversation is going on.  maybe when she's with a group of girls, she doesn't feel singled out by the humor or whatever.

from my perspective, the younger crowd and older crowd are sort of similar.  you get irritated easier becuase #1 distractions cause you to lose your train of thought  #2  you honestly say what comes to mind - thus offending the easy going jokster.  #3 trying to impress you with humor might not be the best way if you are picking on a fault of the jokee.  but, for those 20-40 somethings - there is probably more humoresque ability.  i still can't joke that much with my mother because sometimes she takes offense or thinks i'm speaking of her directly.  maybe security in one's self allows for jokes to be easily taken.  i wouldn't make any jokes about girls infront of one girl and bunch of guys - but i can see how girls might laugh if in a group. 

i tend to like one on one humor.  then, if you accidentally offend the person - you only have to apologize to one person.  sometimes i have thought something incredibly funny - and the jokee thinks 'hmm, she's awfully silly for her age.'  so then i try to act all mature and then 'whoever' starts making jokes with me - and i try to act serious.  i never seem to be able to act 'normal.'  there must be something wrong.  either things are very funny or very sad.  i never feel that mid-line normalcy unless i'm studying something and really getting into it.  exercise normalizes my brain and keeps me from laughing at farting jokes - and still making up just as bad of ones to counter the guy stuff.

Well PP, even crazy people don't necessarily think they're crazy. That's part of what makes them crazy. They lack the judgment to understand that some actions are just nuts. To kill your kids in order to save them from Satan (or whatever Andrea (not Andrian) Yates did) is crazy and she should have been sent to an asylum for help. Unfortunately, Texas' laws on proving insanity have little basis in reality.

Now to the subject at hand. Women will laugh at a man's jokes if they want to get to know him better. So to the original poster may I suggest you work on your personal grooming.

Here's some humor the women will appreciate:

Why women lie

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river.

When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?" The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.

The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with pearls. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

The seamstress replied, "No."

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver thimble ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

Again, the seamstress replied, "No." The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

The seamstress replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water.

When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel Gibson. "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the seamstress.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Mel Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise. Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to Mel Gibson."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others.

That's their story, and they're sticking to it.

[Appenato]

^^ Haha! i have a friend who would appreciate that joke...

girls have a sense of humor, but if all the guy jokes about is crass, sexually-related stuff, then it gets old real fast. so if this is the path chosen to humor, maybe the guy should back off trying too hard.

[pianistimo]

ahahahah.  pantonality, i think you know me or something?!  i love sewing and i love mel gibson.  and, yes, three husbands would be too much.  (i thought it was leading to how much the lady actually made to help her husband make a living - with the pearls on the thimbles and all).  that is actually the funniest sad part.  i try to help my husband make money, but i'm better at spending it.  (but, i do compare prices). 

i've tried multiple ways to make my piano teacher laugh, but the only thing that caused hysterics was when he was talking about trying too hard and unnecessary movements - and i said - 'do you mean like when my husband tilts his head sideways when he bicycles uphill?'  immediately, i felt a pang of guilt in saying anything critcal about him, because he's always very sweet to me.  i don't deserve him.  and, he's very funny without even trying.

ok. here's a humorous story back to you:  www.writers-free-reference.com/funny/story047.htm  entitled 'two lines for men'

[pianistimo]

on a list of what men wished women knew:

'remember that the nair bottle looks an awful lot like shampoo when left in the shower.'

'our laundry is sorted according to 'looks fine/smells fine,' 'looks fine/smells bad,' 'looks dirty/smells fine.'

those two are the funniest to me.

[BoliverAllmon]

the reason she was punished the way she was is because many feel that she faked the insanity. In reality she just decided to kill her children not that she was a schizo or anything. I dunno really though. I am not really following it.

[timothy42b]

I don't think that's really the reason, though it might be for some. 

I think (I'm trying to be charitable) that what happened to the children was so horrible that somebody had to be punished, guilty or not. 

And I agree that their fate was horrible, but that doesn't mean the one they point at deserves to be punished. 

Insanity pleas are attempted only about 1% of the time and hardly ever successful.  And there are a lot of people who don't believe in mental illness and think everybody is faking it.  The facts just don't support this though. 

I have known someone with postpartum psychosis and though she didn't harm her kids she easily could have.  She had very little control or contact with reality.  The idea of punishment would have been zero deterrent for her.  She survives today on medication but will never fully recover. 

I also worked about ten years in a mental hospital and got to know some patients who did cause harm (and there was no question of their faking it.) 

What if you were at work, earning an honest living, and somebody put a hallucinogenic drug in your coffee before you went home?  What if on the way home you ran over a blind pregnant nun in a wheelchair, because you were tripping and didn't register the stoplight?  Should you spend the rest of your life in prison?  That is the equivalent of what I think happened to Andrea. 

[pianistimo]

i think what the courts are trying to say is that 'don't expect to plead insanity if you are simply tired of taking care of your children.'  and don't say, 'they'll be in a better place.'  we are not the ones to decide their moment of death.  most parents would be horrified for their children to die before they do.  excuses just don't cut it for escaping responsibility.  if her husband knew she was psycho, she shouldn't have #1 had children without someone monitoring her #2 not been taken care of psychologically - to let it get to this point.  proving insanity probably means that someone already knew she was ill - and pointed her to therapy or medication or exercise - or whatever! 

when i don't feel well - i go take a nap and tell my kids not to bother me for a 1/2 hour or so.  if i felt really bad, i'd ask someone to babysit them for me - and go out and do somethig for myself.  there's no excuses for people who just whimper about how hard their life is.  everyone that has kids has good and bad days - and times when they just don't feel up to their duties but they do them anyway.  drowning your children is a sad cop out - unless she was totally OUT of her mind.

This assumes a level of mental health servive that simply doesn't exist. Perhaps it once did but after the Reagan administration which turned lose every nut case that wasn't a danger to society mental health services were significantly cut back. The states cannot afforf to provide this level of service and most private health insurance puts significant limits on mental haelth coverage. Andrea Yates had a long history of mental health issues, but the state of Texas did nothing and her husband was overmatched by her illness. Her situation was a perfect storm and her kids paid the ultimate price. She also paid a heavy price because our society chooses not to afford compassion.

Well that's just it, she WAS totally out of her mind. Your post indicates an unwillingness to accept that someone could be completely out of their mind, perhaps because you've never experienced it. I've seen people that were pretty out there. Back in the 80s I worked in downtown Boston. I stilol remember one poor homeless woman. We called her Spara Quarter, because that's all we ever heard her say. I honestly believe a more compassionate society would find someplace more comfortable than the street for such a person to live.

[pianistimo]

was andrea yates seeing any psychologists or taking any medication?  that would prove to me that she had a history of mental illness.  i haven't kept up on the case - but they astound me as to why a person (even out of their minds) wouldn't kill themselves first and not their children.  couldn't she have compassion on her own children?  i may be hardened, but i see alot of whimpering people that unless they are truly out of their minds, need to have a taste of their own 'medicine.'

am sure that if she had had serious mental problems, someone would have paid for her medication.  her parents?  relatives.  did she have noone to cover her but her husband - who never declared her incompetent to raise their children until she killed them?  do you know how many children are neglected, abused, killed nowdays.  it's truly disgusting.  if someone is homeless and has a child - it's truly a sad situation - but that's changing andrea's case.  andrea was not homeless - and wasn't going around begging a quarter.  she was supposedly a mother taking care of her children and leading a 'normal' life.

here's something interesting, too, although proving one side or the other is probably better done by hearing the entire case:

www.courttv.com/trials/yates/022406_ap.html

*i've since read more about the case and it is extremely sad - yet, at the same time there were 'warning signs' and her husband was sort of blind, imo, to have another child with her.  the last child to be drowned asked why 'mary' the youngest was floating in the tub.  she drowned him next to her even though he came up twice, begging for air, screaming for his life.  she is the one without compassion (due to either psychosis, postpartum depression, or demon possession) thanks to the help of a strange religous person that convinced her that she wasn't a good enough mother and her children were going astray.  the bible certainly doesn't condone this - and in fact, the parable of the prodigal son shows a father allowing his son some space - and the time to grow up.

[4tissimo]

I don't know about you but a former UK lady friend has a great sense of humor and my current US lady friend, who also happens to be a piano teacher, has a great sense of humor too.  Am I just lucky or  perhaps you've just not found the commedienne yet?

[timothy42b]

  i may be hardened, but i see alot of whimpering people that unless they are truly out of their minds, need to have a taste of their own 'medicine.'

.

Yes, I am sorry to say I agree.  You are hardened.  I hope it is simply because you have never experienced anything like this, and I hope you never have to.  Those of us who have been through it with a loved one (whom we will never have fully back) know the hard way this is not as simple as it appears.  Of course Andrea didn't have any capacity for compassion - she was out of her mind.  Until you've lived with or worked with people in that state you have no idea how bad it is to be unable to think, to be unable to hold off the delusional images, to live in terror all day long.  It sounds like you (and that "religious person" you mention) want to hold her to the same standards of behavior as Maslow's self actualized man.  She was doing the best she could, it wasn't very good. 

[stormx]

Women have sense of humour.

Problem is that they usually laugh on monday about the joke they have heard the previous friday 

[pianistimo]

dear tim42b,

i don't hold to any religious beliefs that endanger children.  why did you say that?  i am not a callous person either.  look, anyone in this world can declare themselves mentally incompetent and get away with murder. but, men often don't get away with it as much as women.  why should women get so much patience and men not.  men cannot handle the idea of a woman that is not a nurturer.  they think all women inherently are.  there are some crazy women out there.  i put her in the category of 'this is too much work, i want a new house, i had too many children, now what do i do...i think i'll just go catatonic for 10 days.'  and/or make some suicidal attempts.  then people will wake up to my condition and do things for me. 


look- starting today - i could lay on the couch and go catatonic too.  i could say that for the past years and years i've been cleaning the house and it's gotten to be too much.  prepare the bathtubs with water - and systematically relieve myself of my 'problems.'  but i don't consider children problems.  they are gifts.  to be taken care of.  she needed to be taught better.  can you imagine if she had gone on (after taking her nursing program) to be working in hospitals (instead of home with her kids?)  then it would be the average person - randomly killed on her bad day.  maybe i don't have compassion - but i see her as a whimpering person that killed her kids and not herself.  she should have locked herself up when she felt the first urge to do her kids damage.   

when she first stopped feeding her youngest girl, mary, her husband should have told her the kids were going to the relatives for a while.  that is a serious problem!
  btw, i have lost all my sense of humor. 

[pianistimo]

here's a quote:  'men are pretty much born into absurdity and turn it to their advantage...whereas an ordinary woman being funny will always be suspected of 'compensating.'' 

*personally, i like joking around, but i must admit i do less of it with my husband.  maybe it does have a bearing on how the person perceives you as being honest?  why do guys get away with humor - and still be trusted, whereas a woman might be thought to have 'devious plans.'

i never follow humor past the joke stage.  i don't recall ever cutting a hole or putting tags on in anyones clothing or putting plastic on the toilet seat.  that, to me, is getting into the silly range.  silliness is just too childish. 

[m1469]

It's ironic, because I wonder....


Why can't men be taken seriously ?   

[Mozartian]

Why do girls have no sense of humer.

1.) The answer is 42.

2.) there is no such thing as "humer"

[timothy42b]

  maybe it does have a bearing on how the person perceives you as being honest?  why do guys get away with humor - and still be trusted, whereas a woman might be thought to have 'devious plans.'

But, in general, isn't that basically true?

Aren't men's motivations usually pretty obvious?  And women's are much more difficult to decypher?  Otherwise why would we have all these communication failures, and all the advice to figure out "what a woman means when she says....?" 

Ask a guy if he's okay.  If he says yes, that simply means he doesn't need another beer yet but check back in ten minutes.  When a women says yes it really means no, something is troubling her to the depths of her soul, and if you don't guess and respond to her needs it is because you are not invested in the relationship and don't understand her.  (We know this, but being basically lazy normally we'll just choose to pretend to believe her.  Usually that means we have to get our own beer for a while though.  If the game runs long we'll bring a small cooler out next to the recliner, enough to hold a sixpack just in case.  So if you see your guy bringing a cooler into the living room you know he thinks there's something wrong with you he can't fix.  <grin> ) 

[clef]

Am not going to name anyone, but i is starting to notice the lack of humer on this forum.

lol, unlikely.  My good friend Caitlin laughs at completely random times for no reason and is a joy to be around, you'd have to have mind powers to make me believe that she has no sense of humor. 

[4tissimo]

Essentially it depends upon the girl, I think.  Currently I'm in love with a piano player/teacher who is a woman of Norwegian descent and who has a terrific sense of humor.  It's one of her greatest assets.

[zheer]

The most ugly girl starts to look attracyive, when they have a personality and a really good sense of humer.
