Is there a clean, good, easy way to do the following:

class Human; end
class Male < Human
     def laugh
         puts "Yo ho ho"
     end
end
class Female < Human
     def laugh
         puts "Tee hee"
     end
end

module Yokel
     #...special code here...
end

class Human
     include Yokel
end

m = Male.new
m.laugh
#=> "Slapping my knee"
#=> "Yo ho ho"
#=> "Snorting"


f = Female.new
f.laugh
#=> "Slapping my knee"
#=> "Tee hee"
#=> "Snorting"
