@edgarblythe,
Exactly edgar and pearly.
I don't know why any man or woman would find it funny.
Truly a bad joke.
Plus, there's all that leading up to the punch line...indicating women are trying to "take over", forcing men apparantly to do work beneath them, etc.
It's just the type of story some ass hat would tell in mixed company, and expect women to either sit there and smile demurely, proving their subservience, or hoping they'll complain to it can be pointed out what frigid humorless bitches they are.
Good thing I'm not a black person, or I'd be getting all aggressive about it.
Maybe if I were Irish I'd go get drunk.
Jesus wept.
