Then she made me eat broccoli, which felt like double standards. Which probably explains why her marriage collapsed. A police officer pulled me over and knocked on my window.

He sent in 10 different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in 10 did. I was having dinner with a world chess champion and there was a check tablecloth. It took them two hours to pass the salt. Four fonts walk into a bar. I sent my girlfriend a huge pile of snow. A jumplead walks into a bar. Police arrested two kids yesterday. One was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one — and let the other one off.

A skeleton walks into a bar. In that case, give me a Kyle! You don't want to rain on their parade, but kids need boundaries when it comes to humor, just like they do in other areas. You don't want to encourage mean-spirited or off-color jokes, so be a good role model and avoid using humor in this way. If someone tells a hurtful or inappropriate joke, don't laugh. Take the time to explain to your child why that joke isn't funny.

You also might want to gently discourage bathroom humor or at least not participate too heartily. It won't hurt anyone's feelings but kids may have trouble determining when it's OK to make such a joke at home, with family and when it's not in the classroom, at church. Above all, humor is social. That's why you laugh harder at a funny movie when you see it in the theater with other people laughing around you than all alone on your couch. A key aspect to developing your child's sense of humor is to take time to have fun as a family.

Share jokes, play games, and watch funny movies together. You might even adopt your own offbeat family traditions, whether it's hanging spoons off your noses or wearing matching pajamas.

Thank You! Researchers from Aberystwyth University and the University of North Carolina analysed 28 studies which looked at how funny around 5, people were. They wanted to see whether the stereotype that men are funnier than women was true. Writing in Psychology Today , lead researcher Dr Gil Greengross said: "This stereotype is shared by both men and women - but of course, just because it exists does not mean it is true.

In many of the studies they looked at, men and women were asked to write a funny caption to accompany a cartoon - and then independent judges rated their funniness without knowing their gender. Dr Gil said the results found that "to the best of our knowledge, on average, men appear to have higher humour production ability than women". Speaking to Radio 1 Newsbeat on Tuesday, he added: "To clarify, the whole thing is not about 'women are not funny' He says evidence suggests humour plays a "major role in mating".

The lecturer said women tend to look for a sense of humour in a partner as it is "strongly correlated with intelligence". Check out our new outfits!!!
