    Is a compliment?

    No. But you also took it out of context in a blatant attempt to misrepresent it. If it were actually so bad, you wouldn’t feel the need to so grossly misrepresent it.

    There are certain truths to humor,

    Agreed. And in this case that truth could be that he thinks his wife is too good for him and he must go to great lengths to get her not to understand it.

    the joke is fundamentally about abusing his spouse.

    Actually, no, the joke was fundamentally about his spouse being too good for him.

      So you don’t think drugging one’s wife…. Is spousal abuse.

      Which was litteraly the joke. Drugging her. So she can’t escape.

      Whose misrepresenting what, exactly?

        Again, the joke is fundamentally about his wife being too good for him. If you won’t even admit that, then what’s the point of following your leading questions? You don’t care about actually being reasonable, you care about justifying your outrage.

          Go read the fucking article. here. I’ll save you a click:

          In case you’re wondering. Rohypnol is commonly used as a date rape drug. And he’s “joking” about dosing his wife “just a little bit” so she can’t leave.

          Do please explain how jokes that are literally about dosing one’s partner with date rape drug so she can’t leave you isn’t spouse abuse. Also explain how I am being unreasonable here. Please, explain to me how I’m over-reacting and it’s “just a joke”.
