Default I Hate Forwards... But This Was Too Funny! - 01-26-2006, 10:09 PM

Hahaha!

My wife and I discussed the toilet seat issue for the first time in our 13 years of marriage.

In all my years I thought I had gotten away with this one battle that hinders many a marriage, . . . but no! . . .

When I heard, "why can't you put the seat down after using it?"

My reply was, "why can't you lift it up after you use it?"

"Why must a man do all the work?"

Well, I guess you know who won this battle . . .

. . . what the h*ll ever happened to the "sexual equality" debate . . . sheesh!!


Warm regards,

Stephen Davies

used my snazzy program to strip the fwd > out...

The Guys' Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all
down

Finally, the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)


We always hear "the rules"
from the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note... these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it
down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the
changing of the
tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that
way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to
almost every
question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help
solving it. That's
what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a
problem.
See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible
in an argument. In
fact, all comments become null and void after 7
days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two
ways
and one of the ways makes you sad or angry,
we meant the other one .

1. You can either ask us to do something
or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it
yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have
to say during
commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions
and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows
default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.
Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing,"
we will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth
the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer
to,
expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely
anything you wear is
fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless
you are prepared to
discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun
formation, or monster
trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
but did you know
men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them
a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can - to give
them a bigger laugh!!

As long as we're forwarding this stuff...here's one I got yesterday.

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.

Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.


You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.

There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

A new wives store opened across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
