| You know, you are attributing too much science and physics to the act of clapping. There is not one human being who has ever contemplated the distance their hands have to be apart to strike at a certain rate. Well, except for you. It has absolutely nothing to do with muscle memory or technique. One ... |

What does that have to do with whether or not you're an idiot? |

| I married for many reasons. Because my wife is the first person I ever encountered who loved me for who I am. She was the first person I ever met who was like me in a lot of ways. We are both musicians, and record collectors, and Beatles fans, and highly literate, and have the same views on many sub... |

| How do you even recognize beats in music. I can never really sense them. Where in the music, and what are they? I've been a musician for the last 45 years, and it's a part of my central nervous system. I don't know how to explain how and why people clap to music and find the rhythm in it. I was una... |

| People clap to music to follow its rhythm. The most "clappable" songs are in the time signature of 4/4. History shows us that white people clap on the downbeat: clap 2 clap 4, and black people clap on the backbeat: 1 clap 3 clap. I don't know why this is, but it's definitely not a stereotype. It rea... |

| I'm not on a crusade about it or anything, but I have so little interest in popular culture that I have ignored it since the mid-80s. I've never seen "Star Wars" or any of those blockbuster movies. I don't know any songs by anyone after 1987, and I have collected well over 100,000 songs on records a... |

| No one, and I mean no one is entitled to treat another person the way you are being treated. And no one is required to take it. Unless your so-called partner is willing and able to do a complete and permanent 180 in his personality and outlook, you need to look at the possibility that it may never g... |

| I was on the spectrum for my whole life before I found out for sure last December. I could not live with my family, but as it turns out, that was not entirely my fault. They couldn't live with each other, either. But I can live with my wife. She has no trouble understanding me. We've never had a fig... |

| Only from my wife. I can't think of anyone else who would have any affection for me. But from my wife, it gives me something to look forward to. Without it, what reason would there be for our marriage to continue? |

| I am 51. I stopped floundering twelve years ago, when I found someone who believed in me so much that she wanted to marry me. That put me in a position of not being able to fail. My "special interest" is not an obsession, it is a marketable skill, which I have used to establish a career. I am doing ... |

| I've known my wife for going on 14 years, and I have never told her the depths of the misery my life used to be. She knows some of it, certainly, but I haven't told her the really ugly parts. I don't want her to pity me. I'm supposed to have got over that by now. Even though it's all still there in ... |

| Those words in the OP are jokes only by the loosest possible definition of "joke." They contain no humor at all. No setup, no premise, no punchline. |
