MATURITY:
Women mature much faster than men. Most 17-year old females can function
as adults. Most 17-year old males are still trading
baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class.
This is why high school romances rarely work out.
MAGAZINES:
Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked women. Women's magazines
also feature pictures of naked women. This is because the female body
is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is lumpy and hairy and
shouldn't be seen by the light of day. Men are turned on at the sight
of a naked woman's body. Most naked men elicit
laughter from women.
ARGUMENTS:
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning
of a new argument.
MONEY:
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want.
BATHROOMS:
A man has five items in his bathroom - a toothbrush, shaving cream,
razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The
average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 437.
A man would not be able to identify most of the items.
GROCERIES:
A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes out to the store
and buys these things. A man waits till the only items left in his fridge
are half a lime and a beer. Then he goes
grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks
good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart
is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of
course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.
CATS:
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking,
men kick cats.
DRESSING UP:
A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage,
answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress up for
weddings and funerals.
LAUNDRY:
Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article
of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about
eight years ago, before he will do his laundry.
When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt
inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his
mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men always
expect to meet beautiful women at the Laundromat.
This is a myth perpetuated
by reruns of Old American sitcoms and commercials.
MIRRORS:
Men are vain; they will check themselves out in a mirror. Women are
ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any
shiny surface: mirrors, spoons, store windows, Joe Garagiola's
head.
MENOPAUSE:
When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a variety of complicated
emotional, psychological, and biological changes. The nature and degree
of these changes varies with the individual. Menopause in a man provokes
a uniform reaction...he buys aviator glasses,
a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for
a Porsche.
TOYS:
Little girls love to play with toys. Then when they reach the age of
11 or 12, they lose interest. Men never grow out of their obsession
with toys. As they get older, their toys simply
become more expensive and silly and impractical. Examples of
men's toys: Too-little-miniature TV's. Too-big-screen TV's. Too-powerful
tools. Too-much-graphic equalizers. Too-many-video games. And, small
robots that serve cocktails on command. Anything
that blinks, beeps, and requires at least six 'D' batteries to operate.
MOVIES:
Every actress in the history of movies has had to do a nude scene. This
is because every movie in the history of movies has been produced by
a man. Men will only show their asses, because ass size doesn't really
matter.
JEWELRY:
Women look nice when they wear jewelry. A man can get away with wearing
one ring and that's it. Any more than that and he will look like a
lounge singer named Ramone.
TIME:
When a woman says she'll be ready to go out in five more minutes, she's
using the same meaning of time as when a man says the football game
just has five minutes left. Neither of them is
counting timeouts, commercials, or replays.
FRIENDS:
Women on a girl's night out talk the whole time. Men on a boy's night
out say about twenty words all night, most of which are
'Pass the Doritos' or 'Got anymore beer?'
NICKNAMES:
If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out
for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose.
If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately refer
to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head
and Scrappy.
EATING OUT:
When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob
and John will each throw in $20, even though it's
only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and
none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their
bill, out come the pocket calculators.
FUTURE:
A woman worries about the future until she
gets a husband. A man never worries about the
future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS (20th Century Version):
A successful man is one who makes more money
than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such
a man.
SUCCESS
(21st Century Version):
A successful woman is one who makes more
money than her husband. A successful man is one who can find such a
woman.
MARRIAGE:
A woman marries a man expecting he will change,
but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting
that she won't change and she does.
NATURAL:
Men wake up as good-looking as they went
to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
RESTROOMS:
Men use restrooms for purely biological reasons. Women
use restrooms as social lounges. Men in a restroom will never
speak a word to each other. Women who've never met will leave a restroom
giggling together like old friends. And never
in the history of the world has a man excused himself from a
restaurant table by saying, 'Hey, Bill, I was
just about to take a leak. Do you want to join me?'
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's
no use in two people remembering the same thing.
