Time for another post in this recurring series. Now, as I've sworn before, I LOVE men. I also have a HIGH respect for women. I know that there are way more differences AMONG men and AMONG women than there are BETWEEN men and women as a group. The stereotypes can by funny, though, so I'll throw out the jokes when I find them. The subject today is education. What we know, what we don’t know, and what we want each other to learn.

Advice From Men To Women
...Never buy a 'new' brand of beer because 'it was on sale.'
...If we're in the backyard and the TV in the den is on, that doesn't mean we're not watching it.
...Don't tell anyone we can't afford a new car. Tell them we don't want one.
...Whenever possible please try to say whatever you have to say during commercials.
...Please don't drive when you're not driving.
...Don't feel compelled to tell us how all the people in your stories are related to one another: We're just nodding, waiting for the punchline.
...The quarterback who just got pummeled isn't trying to be brave. He's just not crying. Big difference!
...When the waiter asks if everything's okay, a simple 'Yes' is fine.

I found your post on someone else's blog. (So I thought I'd take a look at your BLOG). And, I don't know if you get the credit for this HUMOR, but let me tell you, if you came up with this stuff, you are not only VERY creative and funny, but also very insightful! I think I'll add you to my list of blog reads! Thx! ~ jb///
ReplyDeleteGotta say you have surpassed yourself once again. I bow to your superiority (i'm getting a complex).... Had to nick this one.
ReplyDeleteLMAO
This is very, very good. Worth stealing, even. Except I'm not that kind.
ReplyDeleteSteal away, y'all! I didn't write this post, the best comedy is stolen. I give credit when I know where something came from, which is not often. I write some (but not much) of any post.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of other things that men know about women! Let me think about it after the football game and a few beers and I'm really sure I'll be able to list them!
