Humor Day ...

... does this mean I have to find something amusing?

sigh

Well, I went to the Museum of Sex last week. I haven't been there since their inaugural year. The current exhibits are Men Without Suits: Objectifying The American Male Body & Stags Smokers and Blue Movies: The Origins of American Pornographic Film. I preferred the latter. Not that there's anything wrong with the male body ...

What's amusing about the Museum of Sex is that everyone behaves as in any other museum. People maintain the same distances and proximities, and moderate their time at any one area based on the other people waiting to see the same thing.

But instead of looking at protoceratops, or the Unicorn tapestries, you're seeing one of the oldest examples of a money shot. (1915, IIRC)

If you were to instantly transplant the attendees from the above three types of museums to a single room, you wouldn't be able to tell from their faces which museum they were at.

I find that amusing.
