Women get pretty offended when people say they aren't funny (Melissa McCarthy, anyone?). But a new study "proves" that guys are funnier than gals -- but just a little bit funnier.


Researchers at the University of California at San Diego asked 16 male and 16 female college students to write funny captions for a blank New Yorker cartoon (if you've ever tried this, you know it's difficult). Thirty-four male and 47 female students ranked the captions without knowing the gender of the writers -- and the men scored 0.11 points higher than women.
"The differences we find between men's and women's ability to be funny are so small that they can't account of the strength of the belief in the stereotype," study co-author Laura Mickes, a postdoctoral research in the university's psychology department, said in a written statement.
The study also showed (news flash!) that men enjoy the humor of other men more than women do. "Sad for the guys who think that by being funny they will impress the ladies, but really just impress other men who want to impress the ladies," study co-author Nicholas Christenfeld, a professor of psychology at the university, said in the statement.
So who gets the last laugh? Do you think men are funnier than women?

Also most males are usually more open to talking to strangers and making an ass of themselves.
But I have met my fair share of women who would hang their ass out a car window to moon the crowd.
This is a hard statistic to prove. It would need to become a Gallup poll question ??
