MEN & WOMEN COMPARED
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch,
they will call each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose. But if Mike, Charlie,
Bob and John go out for a pint, they will affectionately refer to each other as
Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in $20,
even though it's only for $22.50. 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.
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 six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor,
a
bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items
in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify
most of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a
man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
CATS
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men
kick cats.
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
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.
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.
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,
funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate
during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about
dentist
appointments and romances, best friends and favorite foods and secret fears
and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the
house.
Thought for the Day:
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people
remembering the same thing.
The Silent
Treatment
A man and
his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent
treatment. Suddenly, the man realized
that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early
morning business flight.
Not wanting
to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
“Please wake me at 5:00 AM.” He left it
where he knew she would find it.
The next
morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his
flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, “It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.”
Men are not
equipped for these kinds of contests.
WIFE VS
HUSBAND
A couple
drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier
discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their
position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband
asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?”
“Yep,” the
wife replied , 'in-laws.”
WOMEN'S
REVENGE
“Cash, check or charge?” I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she
fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her
purse. “So, do you always carry your TV
remote?” I asked. “No,” she replied,
“but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the
most evil thing I could do to him legally.”
W O R D S
A husband
read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife
replied, “The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to
men.” The husband then turned to his
wife and asked, “What?”
CREATION
A man said
to his wife one day, “I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful
all at the same time.”
The wife
responded, “Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be
attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!”
