I think we’re all familiar with the existence of “that’s what she said!” jokes. These are jokes where someone make some kind of innocent comment and someone else contextualizes the comment in reference to recent sexual activity. For example, your friend might be using Philips screwdriver to unscrew a screw from the bottom of a lamp and he would say something like, “I can’t quite get it to fit into the hole.” Immediately, you say, “that’s what she said!” implying you recently had sex with a woman and she had trouble inserting your gigantic phallus into her vagina.

Today I was wondering why there aren’t more, “that’s what he said” jokes. With these jokes, women could switch the sexual roles around.

For example, one woman might be bathing her cat and say “that’s the wettest, sloppiest looking pussy I’ve ever seen.” Her friend would immediately rejoin, “that’s what he said!”

Or another woman might be grilling up a gigantic bratwurst and say to her friend, “I will pay you $10 to devour this sausage in one mouthful.” (Trust me — these are the kinds of comments young women make to each other all the time.) “That’s what he said!” her friend would reply.

I think even gay men could get in on the act. For example, in Seattle, where I lived for many years, there’s a famous hamburger stand called “Dick’s.” One gay man might say, “I can’t wait to get some Dick’s in my mouth. I’m going to devour that meat and let those wonderful Dick’s juices roll out of my mouth and down my cheek.” His gay friend would reply, “that’s what he said!” Then they would both laugh, “HawHawHawHawHawHawHaw!!” with that kind of evil, maniacal laughter we so often associate with gay men.

Anyway, I hope this blog post will kick off a whole series of “that’s what he said!” jokes.
