| A Day without Laughter is a Day Wasted | |
| By: Emma Date: January 29, 2014, 6:43 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| First up: | |
| Men vs. Women | |
| Subtle differences. | |
| Handwriting: | |
| Men: To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They | |
| just chicken-scratch. | |
| Women: Women use scented, colored stationery and they dot the | |
| "i" with circles or hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops | |
| in the "b" and "g". It is a pain to read a note from a woman. | |
| Even when she's dumping you, she will put a smiley face at the | |
| end of the note. | |
| Groceries: | |
| Women: A woman makes a list of things she needs, then goes out | |
| to the store and buys those things. | |
| Men: A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half | |
| a lime and a beer. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys | |
| everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the | |
| checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's | |
| car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him | |
| from going to the express lane. | |
| Relationships: | |
| Women: When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her | |
| heart out to her girlfriends, and she will write a poem titled | |
| "All Men Are Idiots". Then she will get on with her life. | |
| Men: A man has a little more trouble letting go. Six months | |
| after the break-up, at 3:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, he will | |
| call and say, "I just wanted to let you know you ruined my life, | |
| and I'll never forgive you, and I hate you, and you're a total | |
| floozy. But I want you to know that there's always a chance for | |
| us." This is known as the "I Hate You / I Love You" drunken | |
| phone call, that 99% of all men have made at least once. There | |
| are community colleges that offer courses to help men get over | |
| this need. | |
| Sex: | |
| Women: They prefer 30-40 minutes of foreplay. | |
| Men: They prefer 30-40 seconds of foreplay. Men consider driving | |
| back to her place part of the foreplay. | |
| Maturity: | |
| Women: They mature much faster than men. Most 17-year old | |
| females can function as adults. | |
| Men: Most 17-year old males are still trading baseball cards and | |
| giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high | |
| school romances rarely work out. | |
| Magazines: | |
| Men: Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked women. Men | |
| are turned on at the sight of a naked woman's body. | |
| Women: Women's magazines also feature pictures of naked women. | |
| This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, | |
| while the male body is lumpy and hairy and should not be seen by | |
| the light of day. Most naked men elicit laughter from women. | |
| Bathrooms: | |
| Men: A man has six items in his bathroom -- a toothbrush, | |
| shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the | |
| Holiday Inn. | |
| Women: The average number of items in the typical woman's | |
| bathroom is 437. A man cannot identify most of these items. | |
| Shoes: | |
| Women: When preparing for work, a woman will put on a wool suit, | |
| then slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in | |
| a plastic bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put | |
| on her dress shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off | |
| because her feet are under the desk. | |
| Men: A man will wear the same pair of shoes all day. Let's not | |
| talk about how many days he'll wear the same socks. | |
| Cats: | |
| Women: Women love cats. | |
| Men: Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men | |
| kick cats. | |
| Children: | |
| Women: A woman knows all about her children. She knows about | |
| dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best | |
| friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and | |
| dreams. | |
| Men: A man is vaguely aware of some little people living in the | |
| house. | |
| Dressing Up: | |
| Women: A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, | |
| empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. | |
| Men: A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals. | |
| Laundry: | |
| Women: Women do laundry every couple of days. | |
| Men: A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, | |
| including his surgical pants (the ones that were hip about eight | |
| years ago) before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out | |
| of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a | |
| U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men | |
| always expect to meet beautiful women at the Laundromat. This is | |
| a myth perpetuated by reruns of old episodes of "Love American | |
| Style." | |
| Eating Out: | |
| Men: When the check comes, each man will each throw in $20 | |
| bills, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have | |
| anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change | |
| back. | |
| Women: When the girls get their check, out come the pocket | |
| calculators. | |
| Mirrors: | |
| Men: Men are vain and will check themselves out in a mirror. | |
| Women: They are ridiculous; they will check out their | |
| reflections in any shiny surface: mirrors, spoons, store | |
| windows, bald guys' heads. | |
| Menopause: | |
| Women: When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a | |
| variety of complicated emotional, psychological, and biological | |
| changes. The nature and degree of these changes varies with the | |
| individual. | |
| Men: Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction - he buys | |
| aviator glasses, a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, | |
| and goes shopping for a Porsche. | |
| The Phone: | |
| Men: Men see the telephone as a communication tool. They use the | |
| telephone to send short messages to other people. | |
| Women: A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon | |
| returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk | |
| for three hours. | |
| Richard Gere: | |
| Women: Women like Richard Gere because he is sexy in a dangerous | |
| way. | |
| Men: Men hate Richard Gere because he reminds them of that slick | |
| guy who works at the health club and dates only married women. | |
| Madonna: | |
| Same as above, but reversed. Same reason. | |
| Toys: | |
| Women: Little girls love to play with toys. Then when they reach | |
| the age of 11 or 12, they lose interest. | |
| Men: Men never grow out of their toy obsession. As they get | |
| older, their toys simply become more expensive, silly and | |
| impractical. Examples of men's toys: little miniature TVs. Car | |
| phones. Complicated juicers and blenders. Graphic equalizers. | |
| Small robots that serve cocktails on command. Video games. | |
| Anything that blinks, beeps, and requires at least 6 "D" | |
| batteries to operate. | |
| Cameras: | |
| Men: Men take photography very seriously. They'll shell out | |
| $4000 for state of the art equipment, and build dark rooms and | |
| take photography classes. | |
| Women: Women purchase Kodak Instamatics. Of course, women always | |
| end up taking better pictures. | |
| Locker Rooms: | |
| Men: In the locker room men talk about three things: money, | |
| football, and women. They exaggerate about money, they don't | |
| know football nearly as well as they think they do, and they | |
| fabricate stories about women. | |
| Women: They talk about one thing in the locker room - sex. And | |
| not in abstract terms, either. They are extremely graphic and | |
| technical, and they never lie. | |
| Movies: | |
| Women: Every actress in the history of movies has had to do a | |
| nude scene. This is because every movie in the history of movies | |
| has been produced by a man. | |
| Men: The only actor who has ever appeared nude in the movies is | |
| Richard Gere. This is another reason why men hate him. | |
| Jewelry: | |
| Women: Women look nice when they wear jewelry. | |
| Men: A man can get away with wearing one ring and that's it. Any | |
| more than that and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic. | |
| Conversation: | |
| Men: Men need a good disagreement to get talking. For instance, | |
| "Wow, great movie." or "What are you, nuts? No REAL cop would | |
| have an Uzi that size." | |
| Women: Women, not having this problem, try to initiate | |
| conversations with men by saying something agreeable: "That | |
| garden by the roadside looks lovely." "Mm hmm." Pause. "That was | |
| a good restaurant last night, wasn't it?" "Yeah." Pause. And so | |
| on. | |
| Leg Warmers: | |
| Women: Leg warmers are sexy. A woman, even if she's walking the | |
| dog or doing the dishes, is allowed to wear leg warmers. She can | |
| wear them any time she wants. | |
| Men: A man can only wear leg warmers if he is auditioning for | |
| the "Gimme the Ball" number in "A Chorus Line." | |
| Friends: | |
| Women: Women on a girls' night out talk the whole time. | |
| Men: Men on a boy's night out say about twenty words all night, | |
| most of which are "Pass the Doritos" or "got any more beer?" | |
| Restrooms: | |
| Women: Women use restrooms as social lounges. Women who've never | |
| met will leave a restroom giggling together like old friends. | |
| Women also go to the restroom in packs, at least two women at a | |
| time excuse themselves to use the restroom. | |
| Men: Men use restrooms for purely biological reasons. Men in a | |
| restrooms will never speak a word to each other. And never in | |
| the history of the world has a man excused himself from a | |
| restaurant table by saying, "Hey, Tom, I was just about to take | |
| a leak. Do you want to join me?" | |

| You Know You're from Canada When... | |
| Manitoba, Specifically. | |
| You only know three spices - salt, pepper and ketchup. | |
| You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. | |
| The mosquitoes have landing lights. | |
| You have more miles on your snowblower than your car. | |
| You have 10 favourite recipes for moose meat. | |
| Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at | |
| Christmas. | |
| You live in a house that has no front step, yet the door is one | |
| meter above the ground. | |
| You've taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard. | |
| Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled | |
| in with snow. | |
| You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car. | |
| The local paper covers national and international headlines on | |
| 1/4 page, but requires 6 pages for sports. | |
| At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing | |
| plant. | |
| The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun. | |
| Your snowblower gets stuck on the roof. | |
| You think the start of moose season is a national holiday. | |
| You head south to go to your cottage. | |
| You frequently clean grease off your barbeque so the bears won't | |
| prowl on your deck. | |
| You know which leaves make good toilet paper. | |
| The major parish fund-raiser isn't bingo - it's sausage making. | |
| You find -40 degrees (celsius) a little chilly. | |
| The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer. | |
| You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest | |
| jewelry and your Sorels. | |
| You can play road hockey on skates. | |
| You know 4 seasons - Winter, Still Winter, almost Winter and | |
| Construction. | |
| The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus. | |
| You know what a "vendor" is, and you have said "Grab me an Extra | |
| Old Stock for last call. I'm going to hit the vendor, and we can | |
| head back to my place." | |
| You find it interesting to guess the gender of the person under | |
| all those clothes. | |
| Skinner's, Kelekis, Salisbury House, Bridge Drive-In, and | |
| perogies from the church basement are all you need to survive. | |
| And the vendor - don't forget that. | |
| Manitoba is so flat that, on a clear day, you can see the back | |
| of your own head. | |
| You've caught a 50-pound channel catfish, and thrown it back. | |
| Too small. Who wants a muck-raking, scum-sucking bottom feeder | |
| unless it has a Law degree? | |
| Good times? Meat Bingo. Don't ask. | |
| Winnipeg is one of the only places in Canada where you can walk | |
| into a shop, be greeted in French, reply in English, and have | |
| the clerk switch linguistic gears seamlessly with no snark at | |
| all. | |
| Enter the Festivale de Voyageur beard growing contest, and you | |
| don't have to shave for an entire year. | |
| You can buy a 1-bedroom condo in the heart of downtown Winnipeg | |
| for about $60,000 (Canadian dollars). You can get a fixer-upper | |
| starter home for less than the price of a new luxury car. | |
| If you get your car stuck in the snow, passers-by will help you | |
| push it out without having to ask them. It's reflex. | |
| You know (from experience) that when a frostbite warning says | |
| "exposed skin may freeze in 1 minute or less", they mean it. | |
| You know what the little electrical plug in the grill of the car | |
| is for. | |
| You are surprised when you move to a different province, because | |
| places where people aren't cooped up for months have really | |
| crappy musicians. | |
| You've eaten a Skinner's hotdog, a Goog Special from the BDI, a | |
| cheese nip from the Sal's, and washed it down with an Extra Old | |
| Stock. You know that a Fat Boy is a burger, that bannock is | |
| useless without beans, and that the best perogies come out of | |
| church basements. | |

| Men's Rules | |
| Women should learn these. | |
| Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's | |
| up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear | |
| us complaining about you leaving it down. | |
| Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by | |
| us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present | |
| again! | |
| Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it. | |
| Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the | |
| tides. Let it be. | |
| Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive | |
| than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting | |
| married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then | |
| you're stuck with her. | |
| Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do | |
| not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! | |
| We don't remember dates. . . .Period!! | |
| Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think | |
| we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would | |
| look good with your dress? | |
| Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every | |
| question. | |
| Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. | |
| That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. | |
| A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. | |
| Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In | |
| fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. | |
| If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't | |
| expect us to act like soap opera guys. | |
| If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've | |
| been tricked before!! | |
| If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the | |
| ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. | |
| Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic. | |
| You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it | |
| done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do | |
| it yourself. | |
| Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during | |
| commercials. | |
| Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we. | |
| The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two | |
| months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your | |
| girlfriends. | |
| ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. | |
| Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a | |
| fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. | |
| If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. | |
| We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of | |
| mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about | |
| you. | |
| If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like | |
| nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth | |
| the hassle. | |
| If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an | |
| answer you don't want to hear. | |
| Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared | |
| to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or | |
| monster trucks. | |
| Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce | |
| Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what | |
| they're saying anyway.) | |
| BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you. | |
| Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the | |
| couch tonight, but did you know, it's like camping. | |

| You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You | |
| pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the | |
| bus: | |
| 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. | |
| 2. An old friend who once saved your life. | |
| 3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about. | |
| Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that | |
| there could only be one passenger in your car? | |
| Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical | |
| dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job | |
| application. | |
| You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, | |
| and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old | |
| friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the | |
| perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able | |
| to find your perfect dream lover again. | |
| The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no | |
| trouble coming up with his answer. | |
| He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old | |
| friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay | |
| behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams." | |
| Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." | |

| Before going to Europe on business, a man drives his Rolls-Royce | |
| to a downtown New York City bank and asks for an immediate loan | |
| of $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requests collateral. | |
| "Well then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce," the man says. | |
| The loan officer promptly has the car driven into the bank's | |
| underground parking for safe keeping and gives the man the | |
| $5,000. Two weeks later, the man walks through the bank's doors | |
| and asks to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will | |
| be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest," the loan | |
| officer says. The man writes out a check and starts to walk | |
| away. "Wait, sir," the loan officer says. "You are a | |
| millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?" | |
| The man smiles, "Where else could I find a safer place to park | |
| my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?" | |
