Men are naturally� than women. This is theof a UK male professor, Sam Shuster. He conducted research� 400 different people as he unicycled around his town. He� the reaction of onlookers and discovered that men� more jokes about him than women, and that� jokes were more aggressive. He said three-quarters of male �jokers�� him and made nasty comments,� most women tended to tease him with a smile. He said: "The difference between the men and women was absolutely� and consistent." Professor Shuster believes the male hormone testosterone is the cause� men being funnier. He found that teenage boys were aggressive in� humor and this aggression changed with older men into a funnier form of joking.

Earlier research� women and men use humor differently. One study said women tend to� fewer jokes than men and male comedians� female ones. Another showed men look more for a punchline. Men use people they know as theof their jokes, often in a negative way. Married men seem to like hearing and making jokesmothers-in-law. British comedian John Moloney� with Professor Shuster�s findings. He said that in his 21-year career in comedy, henever noticed that men were funnier than women. He stated: "The difference is that if a group of women were together and the conversation lulls, they don't automatically start telling jokes, men do. It then becomes a� of a competition, but that� mean to say men are funnier."
