I thought it was funny and pretty spot on, but then again I also like blonde jokes
Ditto. It's an innocuous joke. Lighten up, you'll be healthier and probably live longer.

Three groups. Don't forget
The Grapefruit Cabal.
Disclamer: At no time am I intending
to stereotype or offend any lovers of
grapefruit by insinuating that they may be
or have been involved in any nefarious undertakings.
First off, it wasn't funny.
... when she threw out her second husband, she demolished his motorcycle with a shovel.
I bet NOT!Now that's something we can all agree is funny!
But implicit in jokes revolving around stereotypes, I have to insist, is recognition. We laugh at stereotypes because crude as they are, they supposedly contain a shred of truth and a degree of identification. Otherwise, you won't find them funny. That's why some jokes do not work outside of their cultural context (and, I tell myself, why I never laugh at French films).
It looks like everyone is missing an entire half a joke!
Does no one find funny the man's reaction to the fact that his motorcycle won't start? His moody, distracted, distant, non-verbal and introverted personality shift is as hilarious as the woman's reaction to the situation!
I think the missed humor in the joke says a lot more about our perceptions of sexism than all this noble granstanding.
