Now It's Just Getting Awkward

Thought I would post an update in the humour in the kitchen.

There is now a piece titled "The Three Stages of a Man's Life". Said three stages are illustrated by photos of lions. The first stage; "Before Marriage" is accompanied by a photo of a pair of lions in coitus. The second stage; "After Marriage" has a picture of a female lion roaring at a male, who is cowering in the corner of his enclosure. The third (and I assume the punchline); "After The Divorce", has a skinned lion throw rug, splayed pathetically on the floor.

Look. I appreciate that everyone has a different sense of humour but these jokes are getting more and more awkward to read because they are so obviously revealing the neuroses of the poster. Lets' review the intonations of the jokes so far, shall we?

The old ladies getting "screwed" reveals the mirth and satisfaction the poster receives from the though of older women being sexually empowered. The flies on the phone joke suggests that the poster is actually servile to stereotyped gender roles, but is, perhaps, not entirely happy with that, and this most recent joke does the same, with the snarky undertone of a malevolent attitude toward retribution for husbands in general. (If this joke has indeed been posted by a man the sentiment would be different- kind of a "such is the modern disenfranchised man's lot", but I suspect very strongly it is the woman who I suspected before).

This woman makes me want to quit by job and make my fortune selling natty little fridge magnets on ebay that say things like "Good coffee is like a good man, strong, hot and steamy!" and "How can it be wrong, when it feels so much like CHOCOLATE!", and "screw housework, pass me the Baileys!"

On a serious note, unchecked sexism and anger, unfairness and violence toward women is still a very real issue and I have known several women close to me who have had to deal with it, so more power to someone who voices their opinions about it but geeze Louise! Coupled with really bad and un-funny jokes in the staff kitchen at work- it really is just getting awkward. I'm half expecting to see Freudian sexually angled Rawshack tests or something on the board next.
