margaret, I thought twice about posting because the humor is based on sexist assumptions. I thought especially hard about the bottom illustration, but I've been present, on occasion, when the very thing happened. As soon as the people were out of earshot, the group of women began to rip them apart. So I'd say it's quite human, though the best side of humanity is not on display.
"I hope that I never ridicule what is wise or good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can."
oh dear oh dear!
ReplyDeleteNow, what should be said about that??!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThere you go. I feel better now. :-)
DeleteSexist but still funny! Possibly fits in the "blast from the past" category.
ReplyDeletewhiteycat, we'd have very little humor around if we didn't gore the ox of anyone or any group.
DeleteI have heard that human foibles r the base of humor. I'd say this pretty accurate and funny! First smile of the day!
