A joke about toxic masculinity... [View all]
So, a man and a bear walk into a bar. They sit down and order drinks. Fairly soon, they both notice a woman sitting across from them. The man says "Wow, she's gorgeous." The bear says "I bet she's really smart. Hey, man, I'll bet you the next round that I can get her phone number before you can." The man says, "You're on. Prepare to lose, bear!" At which point, the man saunters over to the woman and launches into a grand overture, only to be flatly and in no uncertain terms denied. Returning, the man says "Big whoop. Doesn't mean you won." Whereupon, the bear ambles over to the woman and whispers something into her ear. Almost immediately, the woman pulls outs a slip of paper, writes down her number and hands it to the bear. Reclaiming his seat next to the man, the bear slaps down the slip of paper and grins broadly. The man is dumbfounded. "How did you do it so fast?" the man asks. "Easy" the bear replies. "I told her, 'that jerk who just bothered you - I found him in the forest. But, don't worry. I'm going to eat him after we leave here. Give me your number and I'll call and let you know when it's safe to go hiking.'"
Please don't freak out. In serious times, we also need to make room for humor.
