Beef Vindaloo

A study on the link between humour and testosterone has done a complete u-turn when the researchers conducted a follow-up in the world’s second most populous country. The Norwich University Hospital study that said that men are likely to be funnier than women and that humour rises from testosterone said that their findings were “hideously incorrect” when they decided to continue the study in India. The study now says that based on the Indian part of the report, the study is “entirely misguided and unfounded” and that there is no way that Indian men either have a sense of humour and that there is no way that it is “linked to testosterone.”

“It’s embarrassing because now when we think about it, it’s a question of just what were we possible thinking,” said Professor Sam Shuster, who headed the study, “men are definitely not funny and the more testosterone driven they are, the less likely they are to be funny.” Shuster said that testosterone driven men are definitely low on intelligence and rational thought and are low on humour as well. The study, that aimed to prove their findings beyond a doubt, studied over a million Indian men said that Indians lack even a shred of a funny bone and the gender imbalance that causes them to be far more testosterone driven that the global population creates a “humour wall” that blocks out even a wisp of a sense of humour.

“We didn’t get beyond the level of three guys walking into a bar kind of jokes,” said Shuster, “the second we mentioned one of the guys being India, the joke got sidetracked.” Shuster said that Indians were more concerned about “what kind of Indian” was being spoken about and either became indignant and offended at being like the Indian or offended that their type of Indian was not involved. The study has been dropped completely and the Norwich University Hospital told the British Medical Journal that this study has ensured that there is no way this topic will ever be pursued again.
