OK, Funny Man!
Guys are more funny than girls? Not in this office (and no it doesn't have anything to do with what was a roughly 5-to-1 ratio of women to men at one point). BBC News has this article on a psychologist in the UK who argues that men make more jokes than women (on second look, I realize it doesn't say more FUNNY, just more jokes... which may explain the gap, in spite of fart jokes). So, how did he do his research? He rode around on his unicycle and kept track of how men and women reacted to his "amusing" hobby. The jokes, he figures, can be chalked up to testosterone. The Beeb had some fun reporting this one (must have been a male reporter?), but in all seriousness: Who do you find is funnier? Women or men?
