Now my life is complete knowing this...wonder how much of this “research” was paid by a government grant?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Men eat more than women -- what a profound scientific discovery!

If the grub is good, I'll tuck right into it. I don't really care what the people around me think about it. You mind your appetite, I'll mind mine.

Or, she might be giving him the look because she knows he’ll have gas later on. Lol.

[trisham]

I’m guessing that you’re not a woman.

[sparklite2]

There’s that. To women, gas is a malady,
but to men, it’s recreational.

[Farmer Dean]

Err,a really hungry one?

[Calvin Locke]

That was my first thought too. However, my ex-wife (and her family as well) would always scarf down the food tout suite, while I took my time.

[tophat9000]

gas...... to men, it’s recreational.

yep... and you get rated points for tone, volume and hang time

[KGeorge]

Betcha she’s either A. hungry or B. thrifty.

i can live with this. In fact, more than live with this. It’s rare when I can ‘clean my plate’ & DH can always be counted on to follow up. I hate wasting food.

[sparklite2]

“Hang time”

ROFL

[pieceofthepuzzle]

“So when my wife starts giving me dirty looks about how much I’m ordering when we go out, its really a sign that she is impressed with me?”

Ummm, just keep thinking that, but don't tell anybody..

In BSA Summer Camp, there was also Number Per Day.

How many points do you get for silent but deadly?

[LegendHasIt]

Hmm. I’m exactly the opposite.
I eat less with female company.

[Jack Hammer]

There is certainly ONE form of eating that’s GUARANTEED to make ANY woman happy - but we can’t mention it here.

[rrrod]

showing off salute! Men are men...get used to it!!!!!!!!!!

[tophat9000]

How many points do you get for silent but deadly?

Ah yes sniper ass gas... they don't do it for the awards and glory.. for them its all about personal satisfaction a job well done...and maybe the anguished crying and and gnashing of teeth of their enemy....typically their younger brother

[Larry Lucido]

That’s cunning of you.

[Larry Lucido]

Cici's isn't bad.

I prefer Pizza Hut lunch buffets but not every location has them.

[markman46]

holy crap... that is the dumbest study... my friend cooks for and gives me a big plate full of food...
