NICKNAMES
If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will call each other
Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose. But if Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out for
a pint, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head
and Useless.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in $20, even
though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none
will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out
come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item
that she doesn't want.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar
of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in the
typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of
these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is
the beginning of a new argument.
CATS
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men
kick cats.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries
about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful
woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries
a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer
the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings, funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during
the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist
appointments and romances, best friends and favorite foods and secret fears
and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in
the house.
