WOMEN AND MEN
1. Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.
2. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've
experienced pain and bought jewelry.
3. Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world
where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
4. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when
he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he
concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble,
he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're
really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call
him.
5. Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.
6. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not
being the first is upsetting to their psyches.
7. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my
pillow, instead of a gun.
8. A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually
have jobs and bathe.
9. All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These
seven words strike fear in the heart of even General
Schwartzkopf.
10. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and
the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.
11. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types:
depressing and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and
not nerdy.
12. Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes
out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like
portable heaters that snore.
13. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a
man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed;
get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black
tuxedo."
14. Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually
on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the
door.
15. If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or
more types of lettuce, he is serious.
16. If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right," if he
a) got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist,
you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory
only works on cocoons and butterflies.
17. No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record
saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.
18. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
19. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
20. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie
THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
21. Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and
creatively fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective: "Did my team
win? How's my car?"
22. If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget...
he didn't lose your number... he didn't die. He just didn't want
to call you.
23. Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him,
"Are we going to have sex again?" He said, "Yes, but not with
each other."
24. Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem.
"Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a
challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I
love you... I want to marry you... I want to have your
children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.
25. Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-
heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up
identifying with Barbie.
26. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female
menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause -
you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
27. Men forget everything; women remember everything.
28. That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already
forgotten what happened.
