OK, we’ve covered the funny. Let’s talk about the sexy. Not to come off as a prig (which is itself a funny word, and only a little bit sexy), but why is it that when guys hear the word “lesbian”, they automatically think it’s hot? Have you ever actually met any real lesbians? They rarely if ever look like the models that you see porn, and they never act like that. At least, not in front of me. ---

Have you ever actually met any real lesbians? The ones with the mullets and sleeveless flannel shirts? Those are just poor, confused women. _Real_ lesbians have large silicone breasts and an extensive collection of sex toys, and listen exclusively to saxophone-heavy light jazz. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > _Real_ lesbians have large silicone breasts and an extensive collection of sex toys, and listen exclusively to saxophone-heavy light jazz. Yeah, but it turns into hard rock when a man joins in the action. If porn has taught me anything, it’s that lesbians love facials. ---

The thing that bugs me is that this happened not to the owner of the Jets, but to his daughter, a person who seemingly has no connection to the management of the team or how good or bad it is (please correct me if I’m wrong). In fact, the article mentions that she “isn’t speaking to her father.” I have a dark sense of humor, but I don’t find this funny. If this had happened to the owner, I could see it being humorous. ---

> [@storyteller0910](#): > > Are these things mutually exclusive? Do you, like our OP, subscribe to the notion that it is impossible to simultaneously condemn an act and find some aspect of the comission of that act funny? No. I think humor can be sexist and funny at the same time. This is both. ---

> [@ouryL](#): > > It may sound funny but the next time someone bakes an apple pie, try sticking your “finger” into it ala _American Pie_. You will get to understand the definitions of 1st and 2nd degree burns. Damn you. I just nearly died trying to drink a diet coke and laugh at the same time. > [@tdn](#): > > Have you ever actually met any real lesbians? They rarely if ever look like the models that you see porn, and they never act like that. At least, not in front of me. To be fair the lesbian in question looks like a model, which without a doubt adds to the hotness. ---

If you get all worked up over the black humor in the lesbian catfight thread, you’re a lightweight. For true righteous indignation (or humor as black as the depths of intergalactic space), try this old [9/11 thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=87707). ---

Thanks guys for this thread, I needed a laugh… There were so many amusing lines in here- the Coyote one completely caught me off guard and I laughed. It reminded me of one of the first “dark” jokes I ever heard as a kid: Why’d the monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was dead! I laughed at that one, and I had no idea why, but I couldn’t stop laughing at that joke, and ever since that day, I’ve just gone with it. Life’s a bitch enough even when you stop to take the time to laugh and smile. You gotta stop every so often and realize you can’t always be the one to be outraged by every thing, because in the end, it’ll only stress you out and kill you quicker. Sometimes instead of proverbially stopping and smelling the roses, you’ve got to stop and ask yourself that fundamental question: “_So other than that, how was the show, Mrs. Lincoln?_” ---
