I don't mean that I've never genuinely laughed at a joke that a girl have delivered, cause I have. But I get the feeling they are trying too hard with shitty "material" or repeating other peoples jokes. Then again, I'm hard to satisfy when it comes to humor. Most of the humor that guys offer does not make me laugh either. But I laugh more often (% of jokes) when it comes to guys then compared to girls. With that said, there are at least one woman out there that I find both funny and attractive, and that is Lisa Kudrow, at least in her role as Phoebe (don't know anything else she's in). Now, I'm not a die hard Friends fan (I've maybe seen 15-20 episodes). Although Lisa plays a character who is unintelligent, and she really nails it, her intelligence "seeps" through... it takes skills to play that dumb in a believable way. I would not hesitate to date someone as funny as Lisa... or Lisa herself (e-mail me), and I do not care one bit if the girl is both smarter and funnier than me, quite the opposite.. I think that could quite possible keep the attraction alive (I normally feel bored and lose interest in women after a few weeks). For clarification, I realize it might sound as if I look down on women in some parts. I do not... I'm just not much of a people person(trying though), and the topic was "funny women", I'm just as unimpressed or even more so with regular guys on other topics.

You would think that common sense would dictate not to do it. I inspect sprinkler systems for a living and part of that is doing a room by room visual check of all heads in a specified bldg. I have seen my fair share of idiot things hanging from sprinkler heads. In one hotel much like the one pictured here.....The maintenance staff glued those same signs to the underside of the actual sprinkler head. I have seen anything from fly paper ribbons in the kitchen to wreaths hanging from them. One person even tied off a rope between two heads in a living room so her bird could perch on it. We inspect for dust acculmilation, paited heads or viles, sheetrock mud caked on the heads and other things. the glass vile is designed to operate at an exact temp. The deflector is designed to direct the water as to cover the whole room or area. Any defects to these can cost lives and property damage.

Even though it is one of the best feelings in the world when you make a girl laugh, it's also great if the girl can crack a few jokes as well and not just sit there like a dummy laughing at my jokes. It makes me like the girl more if she can make me laugh a bit. But I definately would have to be the one who is funnier or it would seem like a challenge to my manhood somehow :-) So my answer is, yes I like a funny girl, but just as long as you don't outdo me! It's the same way that a girl likes a sensitive guy but not a guy who is going to outdo the girl on being sensitive. It's just normal gender roles.....
