Are you the "comedian" or the "straight man" in your marriage/relationship?

[Bicoastal]

Poll question: Are you the "comedian" or the "straight man" in your marriage/relationship?

IOW, are you the one who usually makes the jokes, or the one who sets up/responds to the comedy?

Said jokes do not have to be particularly funny, by the way. If you're about to go for the obvious pun on the phrase "straight man," you're probably the comedian--to your sweetheart's everlasting dismay.

1. My husband is a total ham

and he loves attention. He's often very funny and outgoing, but if I can ever get a word in edgewise, I can get a few more subtle jokes out there. But, the trouble is getting a word in edgewise.

2. I'm the audience AND

the concession stand attendant. :hi:

3. We both have our moments...

although sometimes Mr. mcctatas takes a pun to a place that even I am not willing to go (and that's saying something!)

4. We're both pretty funny, I think. nt

5. I'm the straight man

I have no sense of humor. I some times say to him " Say goodnight, Gracie" And he responds "Goodnight Gracie" But few people will get the reference.

Khash.

7. I am so the comedian! I do "characters" all the time!

[Deja Q]

8. I am a comedian!

And, like even Robin Williams, I can't hold a relationship either. :crazy:

9. I have a very

sick sense of humor. That is why I am now single.

10. Our entire relationship is a comedy act.

Seriously.

I'm joking. (I knew a guy named Joe King)

11. I'm the straight man

Doug is the much funnier one.

I don't have much of a sense of humor. And Doug loves me anyway. I'm always amazed at that.

12. The whole world is my straight man.

;)

13. Comedian

The man is a funny guy but he is a bit more reserved than I am.
