words of masculine wisdom

[canyoncarver]

Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a wire long after hypothermia has set in. I will win.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start." We will then drink beer and break wind as a form of Holy Communion.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan.
You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't a problem.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much, once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator).....applies to engineers mainly.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The answer is always either sex, computers, or speedvisionl. (But mostly just sex). I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't. If you are feeling amorous afterwards... then I will certainly remember the name and recommend it to others.
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2005, I will share equally in the housework.
You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest......like wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do.

This has been a public service message for Women to better understand.

Yep, that's the truth.

A man should NEVER eat tofu, it contains phytoestrogens which are poisonous to men. No, I'm not kidding

Indeed, beer is dangerous to women, it causes them to think they're mechanics, which is also poisonous to men.

I saw a really attractive gal in the Pick-N-Pull today; she was carrying parts by the arm fulls! I was ready to marry her on the spot!!!

So, you're a push over for a pretty ankle and her parts, eh, Jay?

Very dangerous.

Jim,
Very nice....thanks!
Recently saw an episode of the Family Guy that must be a classic...he get sent to sensitivity training at work and drives home with a bumper sticker on his car that says
"My Other Penis is A Vagina". I nearly lost bladder control several times during that episode...
Cheers to Seth Greene and crew,
Tim
