Some Doctor dude reckons humour comes from high levels of testosterone. Wrong! His tenuous as fuck conclusions were based on comments aimed at him by both genders while he pranced about a town centre on a unicycle.

If you're as funny as me, well you're not obviously, but if you have a genuine sense of humour, you'll have already identified the flaw in his research. Professor Shuster himself obviously has no clear appreciation of what is and what is not, funny. He mistakenly assumes unicycling is funny and will provoke amusing comments form passers-by. NO!

Everyone knows it's only funny when the unicyclist is a bear. Whenever I've seen a human unicyclist my initial reaction has always been, "French twat!" I always assume they're French. As I do when I happen upon jugglers and mime artists. The point is, I don't think, "hahaha look there is a man cycling, but he only has one wheel, hilarious."

The Doctor in question received aggressive comments from males and encouraging responses from women. Men he claimed aimed aggressive jokes at him; "Men would drive past, roll down their windows and shout things such as 'lost your wheel mate?' - the comments were intended to ridicule and were aggressive humour."

Yes, they were aggressive, but it wasn't aggressive humour Mr Doctor man. Some chavvy bricklayer shouting "have you lost a wheel" is not humour; it's an attempt at humour maybe, but it's not actually humorous. It's far more likely they were just actually being abusive.

Testosterone might fuel attempts at put-downs but it's not responsible for actually being humorous. Put-downs are just a prelude to a fist-fight. The funniest men ever I would wager had very low testosterone levels. Les Dawson was funny and he wore dresses. Eric Morecambe was a comedy genius and he danced about and slept in the same bed as Ernie Wise. Peter Sellers was funny and he had a tash.

I think if anything, all this mans research has proven, is that testosterone causes abusive behaviour and it might not have even proven that as unicycling really ought to provoke abusive responses from the most mild mannered members of society. A vicar for example could be excused for pushing you off your mincing unicycle and calling you a posing cunt. And ironically, that really would be funny.
