The reason why old men use Viagra is not because they are impotent but because old women are so ugly. You find that amusing, MH and MS?

It's a joke, don't take it personally like :).

A good comedian will often insult audience members but if you laughed it was funny. That's really the only rule of comedy, you can say nearly anything as long as it makes people laugh.

I like Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais (though the latter only his live shows).
