It's a Guy Thing
by Marilyn Mackenzie
Come on, let's pick on the fellows!
Don't worry, I love the fellows in my life - hubby, son, nephews. And I dearly loved my Dad when he was still with us. They were always real eager to share blonde jokes, and until about three years ago, I was all kinds of shades of blonde. (Yes, it was natural.)
I never got upset at my guy friends and relatives sharing blonde jokes. No sirree, I didn't.
But I think it's time to strike back. Kindly, mind you. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to speech and writing. To me, cussing is repeating the words Grandma used to use, "Sugar on two sticks!" Or the ones I put in the Daily Whine & Shine or Weekend Chew & Stew - "Oh shuckie darn!"
This week, I ran across two things about fellows that tickled my funny bone.
The first was a joke/comment someone shared that said, "Isn't it just like a man...to pay $400 for a car...and put a $4,000 stereo in it?"
The second one was this: How many do-it-yourselfer guys does it take to screw in a light bulb? Only one, but it takes him two weekends and three trips to Home Depot.
Boy, can I relate to that second one. :-)
So how about you? Have any good "it's a guy thing" jokes or comments to share? Fellows, don't be shy. You can laugh at yourselves too.

Come to think of it---I can't think of a single "guy" joke!
2. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
3. Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
4. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
5. Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.
6. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches.
7. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow, instead of a gun.
8. A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.
9. All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwartzkopf.
10. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.
11. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.
12. Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.
13. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo."
14. Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.
15. If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of lettuce, he is serious.
16. If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right," if he a) got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.
17. No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.
18. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
19. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
20. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
21. Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?"
22. If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget... he didn't lose your number... he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you.
I can soo relate to both of thee.. I had a friend who bought a car for 250.00 from the Salvation Army.. turned around and fixed it up a little and put in about 2500.00 worth of stereo equipment, When he drove down the road, we could feel the vibrations from his car when he was a few housess away! It's a wonder he isn't deaf.. actually, I haven't talked to him in a few years, he may be deaf by now LOL I know lots of guys who fit the second one.. it's definitely a guy thing LOL
I would almost dare to say that the existence of a salad is a pretty good indicator... ;-P
"18. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
19. When four or more women get together, they talk about men."
The numbers should probably say "two or more" on each of those.
