Rita Rudner: "I just read that women reach their sexual peak at age 35. men reach theirs at 18. Do you get the feeling that God is into practical jokes? We reach our sexual peak just as they're coming to realize they have a favorite chair."
What's the laughing point? I don't understand what the last sentence is talking about? Why a favorite chair? (getting old?)
Thank you.

Well, it's not funny.
She's trying to make a joke about the difference in ages at which men and women reach their sexual peaks.
She says that a man at 18 has just realised he likes to sit in a certain chair.
Old men are often said to prefer to sit in a favourite chair.
I don't know why she used that particular image.
It's a joke that "bombs" - at least for me. |
