It's Great to be a Man!
Internet ^

Posted on 02/08/2002 11:16:42 AM PST by Cagey

It's Great To Be A Man

Your last name stays put.

The garage is all yours.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.

Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be president.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.

You don't give a rat's ass if someone notices your new haircut.

The world is your urinal.

You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky.

Same work... more pay.

Wrinkles add character.

Wedding Dress $5000; Tux rental $100.

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.

The occasional well-rendered belch or fart is practically expected.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.

Your pals can be trusted never to trap you with: "So, notice anything different?"

One mood, ALL the darn time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.

You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

You can open all your own jars.

Dry cleaners and hair stylists don't rob you blind.

You can leave the motel bed unmade.

You can kill your own food.

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.

If you are 34 and single, nobody notices.

Everything on your face stays its original color.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

You don't have to clean your apartment if the maid is coming.

You can quietly watch a game with a buddy for hours without thinking "He must be mad at me."

You don't mooch off other's desserts.

You can drop by to see a friend without having to bring a little gift.

You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.

You almost never have strap problems in public.

You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You don't have to shave below your neck.

Your belly usually hides your big hips.

One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons.

You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes.

Ah, welcome, young Skywalker...

Here's a couple of starters:

Posting Guidelines II

and of course the infamous

HTML Bootcamp

And, if you're ever tempted to ask "what on God's green earth does that have to do with Mooses or cheese, and what's this base, all of which are belong to us, well, there's

The FR Lexicon

A couple of points of advice from a scarred veteran - grow a thick skin and find an asbestos suit and a roll of aluminum foil and dive right in. Don't post to "Breaking News" unless it really is or rodents will chew your toes. And there's this guy hanging around named Jim Robinson - pay no attention, he's the guy behind the curtain...

Hey, I resemble that remark. I grew up drinking out of those gas station glasses + jelly jars!

Truth be told, all you really need is one good coffee mug.

Hang one, I have to go check my basement to see if I have enough to fill that sucker.

No problem, I thought they were cleaning the tanks today, we've got plenty.

There was a lot of "pent-upness" in that boy that busted loose once the sheltering restriction of Mom and Dad were removed.

I mentioned that it was his first time ever away from home - might have been coincidence, but there have been many cases of movies having adverse influence on young skulls full of mush - remember "Train Spotting"? Remember "Natural Born Killers"

"geez, having two husbands at once is hard! "

Hey, no religion bashing, remember!

Reb, this is NOT religion bashing..... I married these two strictly because I couldn't choose between them... They didn't even know about each other until a recent thread...but then they realized that they had met in a bar one night while comparing notes on who had the bitchiest wife!

MALE LANGUAGE PATTERNS

"I can't find it," REALLY MEANS:
"It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

"That's women's work," REALLY MEANS:
"It's dirty, difficult and thankless."

"Will you marry me?" REALLY MEANS:
"Both my roommates have moved out, I can't find the washer, and there is no more peanut butter."

"It's a guy thing," REALLY MEANS:
"There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."

"Can I help with dinner?" REALLY MEANS:
"Why isn't it already on the table?"

"It would take too long to explain, "REALLY MEANS:
"I have no idea how it works."

"I'm getting more exercise lately," REALLY MEANS:
"The batteries in the remote are dead."

"We're going to be late," REALLY MEANS:
"Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac."

"Take a break, honey, you're working too hard, "REALLY MEANS:
"I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

"That's interesting, dear," REALLY MEANS:
"Are you still talking?"

"Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love, REALLY MEANS:
"I forgot our anniversary again."

"You expect too much of me," REALLY MEANS:
"You want me to stay awake."

"It's really a good movie," REALLY MEANS:
"It's got guns, knives, fast cars, and good looking women."

"You know how bad my memory is," REALLY MEANS:
"I remember the words to the theme song of "F Troop", the address of the first girl I kissed, the Vehicle Identification Number of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday."

Joe Souchery's companion piece to "What Women Really Mean".

As opposed to something more pleasant, like unstopping a backed up toilet.
