Agreed. There is no better gift to man than woman, for without woman, there would be no man.

Absolutely.
Men invented street signs so we would not have to ask for directions.
Then someone replaced those nice systemic grids of numbers and/or letters with names, like "Pink Possum Lane" and we started getting lost all over again...
Nope. Ingrained conditioning. See post 59...

I think there's more involved than that. Repetition doesn't make the attention span longer. Samo, samo message content causes the brain to return to its original programming very quickly. Case in point, when the SO starts swearing I usually ask her if she's talking to the cat, one of the dogs or me. If it's not me or she doesn't respond, I move on.
If she doesn't prefix a tirade or monologue with my name, without cursing, I usually don't start picking up content until well into the speech when my brain goes into "Danger Will Robinson, danger, danger" mode.
Fortunately she has a voice that's pleasant to listen to unlike some who have what I call a talking through their nose type voice. In the company of one of those individuals my auditory powers rapidly diminish. I'd rather listen to an amplified chain saw at full throttle through a headset.
P12-45, great, when they're only expecting eight.
I guess that I am one of the exceptions to the rule, especially as a high school teacher.
When my students acted up in class I would not say a word to them. I would continue to lecture while writing their name in the "lunch club" box. Since my contract included lunch duty every day I was able to use that as a resource for changing inappropriate behavior. It worked like a charm.
It is exceeding hard for me to hear a woman with my index fingers stuffed in my ears. :)
Oy vey!
Your poor husband!
It's called a sense of humor. You might want to look into it!
Never mind. Harrod's you say?
If you find out, will you please post it?
: )
Another strike against Hildebeast, the Shrill Shrew, running for President.
Heh, heh....At least we can read....
Over thirty years of marriage I have developed "Spousal Selective Hearing." I can hear "Dinner is ready," but have trouble hearing "Take out the garbage."
There are an awful lot of Muslims all over London, and in fact, it seemed that Harrod's was virtually swarming with them last week. I even saw some wearing Burkhas. The strangest thing was that mouth metal piece that covered their faces.
I've searched all over Google and can't find anything.

Ball Gag??
There's a Blue Coller Comedy Hour comdey scketch in this thread. Quick somebody call them on this.
We have an excuse now. Wonder if that'll work for us at work?
Most of the addresses in the area I grew up has longitude & latitude, along with compass designations in the address. Depending on whether the N/S or W was the first part of the address, you could kinda tell which direction the street ran. I say kinda, as a lot of the streets weren't true East/West or North/South.
For example, the address for a town garage is: N59 W23525 Clover Lane. The building inspector in another town is W314 N7624 Hwy 83. From those addresses, I can tell you the first one faces North & the second faces West. I can also tell you, on the imaginary grid the two places are about 8.6 miles from each other.
I find addresses in most other places to be far less useful. Pink Possum Lane, indeed!
women weren't dangerous until divorce lawyers came along. 8^)
I realize you are joking but that statement could hardly be more wrong ( ; o )
Men, take note, the correct response to this is NOT, "And apparently so do I.">>>>>>>>
But, if she threatens to cut you off, the correct response to that is,"you can't because you don't know where I am getting it".
BWAHAHAHAHAAA!!
