The exchange of jokes can be a special form of gift in which you keep the gift you give and appreciate it even more. This is the subtle theory but too rarely the clunking practice. Having shown how right—on I am empathising with a feminist critique of joke telling, let me now make a sexist assertion. By an anti-joke I mean one that derives its humour from in some way subverting the joke form. This might be its sheer silliness. As in. Or it might be that they lack a conventional joke device or punch line.
As in the famous bees joke:. Last Tuesday a friend told me what I though was a great joke ironically, provided to him by his daughter. Since then I have told the joke to twenty people — 12 men and 8 women. So far only one woman liked it, and she had heard it already, while four men thought it was funny. But it could also be taken as evidence of my gender analysis. So here is the joke which I fear may be even less successful in written form.
I am asking my readers to give it a mark out of ten so I can then undertake a rigorous gender analysis and on that basis either abandon or reassert my theory:. How did that happen? Saying this, he clicks his fingers and he is immediately surrounded by attractive women. Saying this, he produces his wallet which is indeed filled with fifty pound notes.

Excuse the generalisation, but women are less enthusiastic than men about jokes. As in A white horse walks into a pub. They make my sweet tooth go at ease. Especially Lava Cakes.

Make sure your parents are safe in their own home by following these tips. There is going to come a time when your parents need a little help to safely live in their home.
This is just an inevitable part of life. The goal is to keep your parents as comfortable as possible while also knowing that they will be safe when alone. Luckily, it is fairly easy to make a few adjustments to the house that drastically improve its livability for seniors.
These are the four things you must do to help your parents create a safe home as they age. Poor eyesight, reduced hearing, and imbalance put older individuals at risk of falling while moving around the house. Falling is actually the main cause for injured seniors. Since this is a dangerous problem, you need to remove all fall hazards from their house immediately. Throw rugs, long cords, and old unused furniture all pose a huge risk.
Make the house as open as possible. Walking up stairs puts a lot of stress on older bodies. They have to use all of their strength just to go up a flight of stairs. There is also a major injury risk if they fall while using the stairs.
Avoid all of these dangers by adding a stair lift in the house. Stair lifts will safely go up and down the stairs whenever needed with absolutely no risk of injury. The slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for your older parents.
There are several changes you need to make to ensure they stay safe. Put rubber mats inside and outside of the tub to prevent slipping. Add grab bars in the shower and next to the toilet. It is also a good idea to lower the temperature on the water heater to stop accidental burns in the shower. The best thing you can do to make sure your aging parents are safe in their home is by making regular visits to see them.
In addition to spending valuable time with your family, you will also be able to access the house and your parent's well-being during these trips. Make sure some of your visits are unannounced to get a true sense of how they are living.
Your parents took care of you your entire life, so it is now time to repay the favor. Making these changes to the house will let your parents have independent lives in their own home for as long as possible.
His music is a unique mixture of chill rap, alt-pop, and bedroom pop. On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media. He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality. Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar. It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify. He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated.
Definitely give them a listen! His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist. He could easily compete with rappers today.
