Because

I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a

wire long after hypothermia, or heat stroke, has

set in. 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." We will then drink

beer and

break wind as a form of Holy Communion.

__________________________________________

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 isn't a

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. And

never, under any circumstances, expect me to

pick up anything for which

"feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism. (F.Y.I. guys cumin is a spice

and not a

bodily

function)

__________________________________________________ ___

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) ...applies to engineers

mainly.

__________________________________________________ ___

Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me

what I'm

thinking about. The answer is always either sex, cars or football. I

have to make up something else

when you ask, so don't ask.

__________________________________________________ ___

Because I'm a man, I do

not want to visit your mother, or have your

mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about

her

any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay;

I don't need to see it. And

don't forget to pick up something for my

mother too.

__________________________________________________ ___

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. Your hair is fine. You

look fine. Can we just go

now?

__________________________________________________ ___

Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the

year 2005, 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

looking for my socks, or like wandering around in the

garden with a beer

wondering what to do.

This has

been a public service message for Women to better understand

the Male. Have a great day!!!
