A
PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE TO HELP WOMEN BETTER UNDERSTAND MEN
Because
I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat
hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling AAA is not an option.
I will win. _____________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood
and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another
man shows up, one of us will say to the other, 'I used to be able to
fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I
wouldn't know where to start.' _____________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and
take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never
get as sick as I do, so for you , this is no problem. _____________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the
store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items
like 'cumin' or 'tofu.' For all I know, these are the same thing. _____________________________________________________ Because
I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on
taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as
much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together. _____________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I
watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show
looking for it, though one time I was able to survive by holding a
calculator instead (applies to engineers only). ____________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are,
if you 're crying at the end of it, I didn't...and if you are feeling
amorous afterwards...then I will certainly at least remember the name
and recommend it to others. ___________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, I think what you 're wearing is fine. I thought what you
were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is
fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. It does not make you r
rear look too big. It was the pasta and potatoes and Margaritas that
did that. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now? _________________________________________________
Because
I'm a man, and this is after all, the year 2008, I will share equally
in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning,
the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest. Like wandering
around in the garden with a beer, wondering what to do. ____________________________________________________
