A characteristic caption for a katagelast was: “Does this mean that you were not talking about your bed when you said: ‘too tiny/small’?” This statement apparently refers to the size of the man’s genitals. The caption produced by a high scorer in gelotophilia for the same cartoon was: “I can’t be blamed—I am as speedy in bed as on the highway.”
“But I’m betting that it’s a bad idea to invite a gelotophobe and a katagelast to the same party.”
