To not find this "joke" funny

[RampantIvy]

Me and my wife have been married for 35 years and I have never let her look in the safe. Last week when I went to the market she looked in the safe, and when I got back she said “I have looked in the safe”. I said “ I told you not to look in there”. She said “there is £40,000 in there and three eggs”. She said “what are the eggs for?”. I said “Well I’ll be honest, every time I shagged someone else’s wife I put an egg in the safe”. She said “That’s not bad in 35 years is it?”. I said “No, but when I get a dozen I sell them, and that’s where the money comes from”

I am sure it has been around in various forms since at least 80s😂

You know that joke also has female version...

The only issue is that it makes no sense. Where do the eggs come from? is she shagging hens? If he’s buying them then why sell them? I’m baffled.

I’m sure OP will find that equally as offensive (and deny it) for some unknown reason.

It's not very funny and I feel like jokes about men cheating on their wives are old

I don't think I would find that funny either @Pothoswithasparkle.

Let me repeat: it isn't offensive to me, I just don't think it contains any humour.

whooooooosh 🤣

I wish posters wouldn't project or put words in my mouth.

I am not offended.

I wonder if I would get the same responses if I posted this in the feminist section.

That's like when your teacher would say reprovingly 'the girls in the top stream would never behave in such an uncouth manner' or your mum might say 'Mrs Smith's daughter Jennifer would never dream of skipping school to buy Blur tickets. Try and be more like Jennifer'.

It’s a pretty standard, not especially funny joke. I can’t get too exercised about it really, it genuinely doesn’t evoke any strong feelings in me whatsoever.

It doesn’t even make sense. Where do the mystery eggs come from? Does he have chickens? And if he’s buying the eggs, how is he making any profit let alone £40k?

So... Did you just ome in here to ask if your sense of humour, which everyone has different, is wrong or something?
It's a meh joke, that's all it is. Some people will find it funny, some won't. s with anything

See that genuinely did make me chuckle.
Both @CheesesandWines deliberate comment, and you accidentally making it funnier.

I agree with the op.

It's not extreme enough to be offended by or to get angry about but it's a really crap, dated and unfunny "joke".

I don't think it's remotely funny, not because of the content, more because it's just not funny.

I prefer snappy, one line jokes, I got bored midway through that one 😴

Yeah, there's so many better versions of this joke.

Usually with the woman cheating on the man.

I am not offended

So why start a thread for the simple fact that you did not find a joke funny? That is a complete non event.

It's not unfunny, I guess. I chuckled. It's funny in a stupid kind of way because it's a stupid elementary joke.

OP, it seems you're either a tiny bit offended or at least expecting some sort of outrage, which is why you wonder what would happen if you posted on the feminism board.

Did you want answers from a feminist/offended point of view?

It's a very old 'joke'. Quite a dated style.
Humour is subjective. If your entire point is you don't find it funny . . . well done, you!

The way the price of eggs has been going lately, that joke is getting less funny by the day.

Did you want answers from a feminist/offended point of view?

I guess I thought I would get more comments from a feminist point of view, yes.

Haha clearly I’m the only one that found it funny then 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

The only offensive thing about that 'joke' is how staggeringly unfunny it is. Who told it? You should immediately cease to do have anything to do with whoever it was.

No idea where it originated from.

So it's not about himour
