Pop Quiz: To Which of These Women Is This Conversation Most Insulting?
Girlfriend: Come on, I really wanna see that movie about Jane Austen.
Boyfriend: She was the one that lived with the chimpanzees, right?

Wow…I’m glad my boyfriend loves Jane Austen.
If it makes you feel any better I asked one of my friends if he knew who Victor Hugo was.
He said, “Of course I do! He was the star of Lord of the Rings!”
Yeah…
