Crack wise, guys

The latest research
indicates that the ladies prefer guys with a sense of humor–and (Duh!)
guys prefer ladies who laugh at their jokes. This is pretty good
stuff, having been confirmed experimentally. But then we get this
blather

According to one theory, proposed by psychologist
Geoffrey Miller at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, women
prefer funny men because their wit reveals an active and healthy brain
– and a fine set of underlying genes. "It’s a very powerful and
reliable way to show creativity and intelligence," Miller says.

Honestly, did Miller just pull this out of his butt, or what? No
wonder some folks think evolutionary psychology is the next best thing
to astrology. My theory? The writer, Helen Pearson, is kinda cute, and Geoff Miller didn’t know any good jokes.
