Doctor: Well, in the first months you can do it completely normally. In the second trimester, I recommend the doggy style, and in the last third, the wolf position.
Man: Wolf position? What’s that supposed to be?
Doctor: You sit next to the hole and howl.
Joke Poo:
Man: Architect, I’m building a luxury birdhouse. I need your expert advice – what kind of nest layout do you recommend for optimal bird comfort?
Architect: Well, for the initial construction, you can build a standard, open-concept nest. In the mid-phase, I suggest a twig-and-mud duplex. But in the final, critical stage, you need the Condor Configuration.
Man: The Condor Configuration? What’s that supposed to be?
Architect: You sit underneath it and admire the grandeur.
Alright, let’s break down this joke.
Key Elements:
- Premise: A concerned husband asks his doctor for advice on safe sexual positions during his wife’s pregnancy.
- Misdirection: The expectation is that the doctor will provide practical, medically sound advice.
- Punchline: The doctor’s advice becomes increasingly absurd, culminating in the “wolf position,” which is not a sexual position at all, but a humorous metaphor for being completely unable to engage in intercourse.
- Humor Type: Situational irony, absurdity, and wordplay (playing on “doggy style” to lead into the increasingly animalistic “wolf position”).
Analysis:
The joke’s humor stems from the unexpected and ridiculous advice, especially the deflation of the husband’s serious inquiry. The “wolf position” is a perfect comedic culmination – a visual gag achieved through purely verbal means.
Now, let’s enrich this with some factual/interesting tidbits and create something new:
Tidbit Incorporation:
- Factual: Wolves howl for various reasons: communication across distances, marking territory, expressing dominance, and bonding with their pack.
- Humorous Connection: The doctor’s “wolf position” can be humorously re-imagined to consider actual wolf howling behavior.
New Joke/Observation/Fact:
Option 1: A ‘Did You Know’ observation:
“Did you know that wolves’ howls are unique to each individual, almost like a vocal fingerprint? So, when the doctor suggests the ‘wolf position’ during late pregnancy, the poor husband isn’t just howling out of frustration; he’s potentially establishing a new territorial claim over the nursery, or maybe just letting the baby know who’s the alpha… of sleep deprivation.”
Option 2: A related joke:
“A couple expecting their first child were taking a birthing class. The instructor was describing the final stages of labor. ‘And during the most intense contractions,’ she said, ‘it’s perfectly normal for your wife to say some rather… colorful things.’ The soon-to-be father looked worried. ‘Like what?’ he asked. The instructor replied: ‘Well, one woman told me she yelled something like “If you ever come near me again, I’ll rip your reproductive organs off and feed them to the wolves!”‘ The man paled. ‘Wolves?’ he squeaked. The instructor smiled reassuringly. ‘Don’t worry, that usually only happens in the “wolf position” phase of the third trimester.'”
Option 3: A witty Observation:
“That doctor’s advice is medically unsound, but comically insightful. It perfectly encapsulates the transition from romance to a shared existential experience in the face of impending parenthood. The ‘wolf position’ isn’t just about sex; it’s about jointly howling at the moon of exhaustion and uncertainty.”
