How? I don't see how it's funny.


It isn't funny on its own but when preceded by a setup that makes it humorously obvious why she's leaving him (and it isn't for another man) then it's funny.

An example I've seen (but couldn't find a google image for) is she walks in on him having sex with another woman and he says "who is he?" while literally in the midst of sex with this other woman.

Huh?
This makes no sense.
Oh! Maybe he means...


My reaction exactly!
I used to think I was just slow and/or naive!

I'm definitely naive, even at 48. :roll:

I've seen that dialogue in movies and shows too many times not to recognize it.

This one was easy, I took it immediately. The man thinks his girlfriend/wife is leaving him for another man.

Instant comprehension. No measurable time needed to comprehend.
Not only comprehended, but went way beyond-to instantly psychoanalyzed the guy, and pegged him as an insecure neurotic.

Next question.

I got it immediately, but if I were in the man's shoes, I would ask "Why?" instead.
