>Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a <br />>wire long after hypothermia has set in. The CAA is not an option. I will <br />>win !<br />><br />>_____________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the <br />>hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another <br />>man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix <br />>these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't, <br />>know where to start." We will then drink beer and break wind as a form of <br />>holy communion.<br />>_________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and <br />>take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get <br />>as sick as I do, so for you this isn't a problem.<br />>_________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the <br />>store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like <br />>"cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing. And never, <br />>under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for which "feminine <br />>hygiene product" is a euphemism. (F.Y.I. guys, cumin is a spice and not a <br />>bodily function.)<br />>____________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist <br />>on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as <br />>much, once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.<br />>___________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand <br />>while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show <br />>looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a <br />>calculator).....applies to engineers mainly.<br />>_______________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The <br />>answer is always either sex, cars, or hockey. I have to make up something <br />>else when you ask, so don't ask.<br />>_______________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother <br />>come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more <br />>than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need <br />>to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.<br />>____________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances <br />>are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't....and if you are feeling <br />>amorous afterwards...then I will certainly at least remember the name and <br />>recommend it to others.<br />><br />>______________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you <br />>were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. <br />>With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. <br />>Can we just go now?<br />>____________________________________________<br />>Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2006, I will share <br />>equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the <br />>cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest....like <br />>wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do.<br />>____________________________________________<br />>This has been a public service message for Women to better understand Men.
