God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.

When desire overrides your judgment

This joke lands because it captures something we all recognize: the gap between our better intentions and what actually happens when we're attracted to someone. It's not really about biology—it's about how desire can override judgment, how the body's pull sometimes wins out over what we know we should do or who we want to be.

What makes this funny rather than mean is that it's not gendered in the way you'd expect. Williams is poking at something universal: the embarrassing gap between our rational self and our wanting self. We've all made decisions we later regretted because we were in the grip of desire. We've all felt that moment of clarity afterward, thinking "why did I do that?" It's humbling, and humor about humbling things brings us together.

The slightly counterintuitive part is that this isn't really a reason to blame yourself too harshly. Desire hijacking judgment isn't a personal failure—it's wired into us. The real wisdom isn't pretending you don't have both competing drives. It's recognizing when you're in that particular fog and building in small safeguards: waiting before texting, sleeping on decisions, surrounding yourself with honest friends. Acknowledging you're not always the rational agent you'd like to be is actually the path to acting more wisely.
