      <title>JOKS FOR MEN</title>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;JOKS FOR MEN&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;How many men does it take to open a beer? None. It should be opened by the time she brings it.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Why do women have smaller feet than men? So they can stand closer to the kitchen sink.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart? When she starts her sentence with &amp;quot;A man once told me...&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;How do you fix a woman&amp;#39;s watch? You don&amp;#39;t. There is a clock on the oven.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Why do men pass gas more than women? Because women won&amp;#39;t shut up long enough to build up pressure.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first? The dog of course. At least he&amp;#39;ll shut up after you let him in.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;All wives are alike, but they have different faces so you can tell them apart.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;I married Miss Right. I just didn&amp;#39;t know her first name was Always.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;I haven&amp;#39;t spoken to my wife for 18 months: I don&amp;#39;t like to interrupt her.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Scientists have discovered a food to diminish a woman&amp;#39;s sex drive by 90%. It is Wedding Cake.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Marriage is a 3 ring circus: Engagement Ring, Wedding Ring, Suffering.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Our last fight was my fault: My wife asked me &amp;quot;What&amp;#39;s on the TV?&amp;quot; I said, &amp;quot;Dust!&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;In the beginning, God created the earth and rested. Then God created Man and rested. Then God created Woman. Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Do you know the punishment for bigamy? Two Mothers-in-law.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Young Son: &amp;quot;Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn&amp;#39;t know his wife until he marries her?&amp;quot; Dad: That happens in every country, son.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;The most effective way to remember your wife&amp;#39;s birthday is to forget it once.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font&gt;Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are beautiful.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/li&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;English Lesson&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Putting Down Putdowns&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="ebabyLessonDate" align="left"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jul 20 2007&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="lessonHeadIntro" class="ebabyLessonSubHeading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Intro&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ebabyLessonIntro"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it&amp;rsquo;s easy to say something hurtful without intending to. Kids often &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;2338&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;tease&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; their friends and call them names but it&amp;rsquo;s no big deal. But sometimes when they intend to say something mean to one of their friends, they end up insulting a whole group of people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="ebabyLessonDialogue"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marni: So I work with kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;And I notice the way kids speak to each other and there&amp;rsquo;s sort of this really common&amp;hellip;well, kids use it as an insult when they&amp;rsquo;re talking to somebody and saying, &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;10721&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;retarded&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Oh I used to say that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Well&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;I mean&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;But, you know, I think in this day and age it&amp;rsquo;s absolutely unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s, well&amp;hellip;It&amp;rsquo;s a &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;10241&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;sensitive&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; issue. I don&amp;rsquo;t think you&amp;rsquo;re going to stop people from saying that or other things that you and I may think as mature adults are inappropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Um-hm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s just kind of&amp;hellip;At the same time that something&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;7440&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;derogatory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and slang-ish and kind of &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;10724&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;putting down&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; someone else, it&amp;rsquo;s also kind of a way to build a &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;10722&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;kinship&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. You know, like if you &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; call someone that. Like the stereotype would be &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;10607&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;frat boy&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;s, &amp;ldquo;Oh dude, you&amp;rsquo;re so &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;8952&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;gay&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;rdquo; Like remember that scene in &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The 40-Year-Old Virgin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; it&amp;rsquo;s like, &amp;ldquo;You know how I can tell you&amp;rsquo;re gay? &amp;lsquo;Cause you do this&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; And the guy&amp;rsquo;s like, &amp;ldquo;Okay, but you know you&amp;rsquo;re gay&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; And it&amp;rsquo;s a really &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;6424&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;endearing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; scene so something&amp;hellip;there&amp;rsquo;s a way to kind of turn it around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Well, it&amp;rsquo;s about how the language is used, but I think that there are&amp;hellip;You know when you&amp;rsquo;re really talking about people that you need to be really &lt;a href="javascript:openpop(&amp;#39;/lesson_vocab/list/2020?context=portable&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;10723&amp;#39;, 400, 400);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;conscious&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of that and you refer to people as &amp;ldquo;mentally challenged,&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;developmentally disabled&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;See, to me those almost sound worse, you know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mason:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;It seems like you&amp;rsquo;re jumping through so many hoops to step on eggshells about it. I don&amp;rsquo;t know I almost&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t know. I think it&amp;rsquo;s something we have to think about as a society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="lessonHeadDiscussion" class="ebabyLessonSubHeading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Discussion&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ebabyLessonDiscussion"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marni works with kids and she has heard them call one another &amp;ldquo;retarded.&amp;rdquo; Mentally disabled people are sometimes called &amp;ldquo;retarded,&amp;rdquo; but it&amp;rsquo;s not a nice thing to call them. It can also be hurtful to mentally disabled people when non-disabled people use the word &amp;ldquo;retarded&amp;rdquo; as an insult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mason says that he used to say &amp;ldquo;retarded&amp;rdquo; and that he doesn&amp;rsquo;t think there&amp;rsquo;s any way to stop people from saying it. He also doesn&amp;rsquo;t think it&amp;rsquo;s necessarily all that bad of a thing to say. He mentions a scene in the movie &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The 40-Year-Old Virgin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in which two characters make a series of jokes beginning with &amp;ldquo;You know how I can tell you&amp;rsquo;re gay?&amp;rdquo; Mason says the scene is funny even though frat boys often use &amp;ldquo;gay&amp;rdquo; as an insult, which many homosexual people find offensive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marni reminds Mason that terms like &amp;ldquo;retarded&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;gay&amp;rdquo; refer to people and that we should be careful not to use them as insults. Plus, it&amp;rsquo;s almost never appropriate to say &amp;ldquo;retarded.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Developmentally disabled&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;mentally disabled&amp;rdquo; are more acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mason says that he thinks terms like &amp;ldquo;developmentally disabled&amp;rdquo; are worse than &amp;ldquo;retarded&amp;rdquo; because it&amp;rsquo;s clear that you&amp;rsquo;re going out of way to be careful. Marni completely disagrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever hear people say &amp;ldquo;retarded&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;gay&amp;rdquo; as insults? Does it upset you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="lessonHeadGrammarPoint" class="ebabyLessonSubHeading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Grammar Point&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ebabyLessonDiscussion"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Jumping through hoops,&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;stepping on eggshells,&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;going out of your way&amp;rdquo; are all phrases that mean doing something you wouldn&amp;rsquo;t normally do because of special, sensitive circumstances. More specifically, &amp;ldquo;stepping on eggshells&amp;rdquo; means being very careful not to offend. You can imagine how carefully you would have to walk if you were walking on eggshells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also notice how Mason adds &amp;ldquo;ish&amp;rdquo; at the end of &amp;ldquo;slang.&amp;rdquo; &lt;a href="http://www.englishbaby.com/lessons/1864/member_submitted/adding_ish_at_the_end_of_a_word/"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s a lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; an English, baby! member wrote about adding &amp;ldquo;ish&amp;rdquo; at the end of words.
