An Epic Chortling War

There’s been a long standing debate in our home concerning who is funnier between the wife and I. You probably think that I’m joking (and understandably so considering that I’m pretty funny…maybe even the funnies person in my house), but I’m not…joking, that is.

Jess seems to think that she’s funnier than I. I seem to think that I’m funnier than she. Don’t get me wrong, Jess is incredibly funny. But lets be honest, I’ve been making people laugh since I nicknamed myself “Jokey” when I was three. Again, I don’t want to diminish my wife’s humor, nor do I want to discourage her from her continued attempts to make the world laugh…but have you been around me? I’m a riot! No seriously, I’m pretty sure that I’m pretty flippin’ funny…right?

Right?

Please tell me I’m right.

I need this right now.

I don’t know if you realize that I have cancer. Would you really look a guy in his virtual eyes who has cancer in his back and tell him he’s not the funniest in his own home? That’s like against the moral code isn’t it?

Right?

Please tell me I’m right.

Okay, okay, I get it! My wife is hilarious. It’s true. Go ahead and steal her phone, look at her text dialogs with people and you’ll see that she’s about the funniest person since Martin Short (bad example?). At night we often sit in bed and seriously laugh for like an hour straight….and it’s mostly because she’s so flippin’ funny. She literally caused me to chortle a few minutes ago. Chortle. Chortle! I chortled! My wife made me chortle and I’m not ashamed one bit!

I’d tell you about some of the funny things she says and does but if I did then it would most definitely seal the deal on the fact that she’s funnier than I. No, it would not seal the deal because you’d see how funny her jokes were but it’d seal the deal because no funny person ever repeats said jokes again (especially in this type of context). That would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am in no way funny…something I’m not willing to accept…yet.

So I’d like to take this moment to honor my wife and to tell the world that Jessica Woods is the funniest woman I’ve ever met (I’ve never met Tina Fey). Not only is she incredibly gorgeous but she’s also the female version of Will Ferrell. And that’s no lie. In fact, it’s quite high praise.

  1. I've been around you both… (not for a while mind you) and I gotta say you're funny, but she kept me sane in Africa! Our night time "chuckling session" sounds pretty similar to what you experience on a regular basis. I'm jealous, but honestly if laughter is the best medicine you should be cured! Love you guys Ryan and I'm praying for your family daily.

  2. I love that both of you are upbeat and can find humor in all instances. I must say, you and Jonathan wrote the book on funniness. For the record: you are within the top 5 on the "funniest people I've ever met list". In fact, this week in my dad's bible class on Revelation, I laughed out loud because I remembered your expression/mannerisms/words in the video about being on fire for God (unlike the Laodiceans (sp?).

  3. Another reason for low rate of literacy is when people were motivated to make their child educated they said that they know the importance of education but they cannot provide them so and make excuses for their illiteracy. In such cases it is difficult to change people thought.
