Anyone notice the difference between man humor and lady humor? Man humor is gross, vile and devastatingly funny. Lady humor appears to be more shall we say, reserved." Such as Why did the elephant wear blue shoes?"  "He couldn't find is red one" My wife will laugh her head off over the elephant one. She will say "I don't get it" after one of mine. Now I know this is an extremely small sample size, but her sisters seem to have the same affliction. Richard Pryor or Chris Rock will not be allowed at my house. But I think they will have an audience in the garage. I want to fit in, when you talk like a sailor it's not so easy.  Unfortunately

Yes. It is plausible. But there are more common things between men and women. We all laugh together regardless of the gender.

Everyone's humor is different, dependant on age, gender social situation, and history. I have met men who have very conservative views on humor and women who love dirty jokes.

Personally I feel the line of funny is found by pushing the boundary between offensive and cute, everyone's line is in a different place so it's all about reading your crowd and adjusting to there sensibilities.
