MEN AND WOMEN COMPARED NICKNAMES:
If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for
lunch, they will call each other Laura, Suzanne,
Debra and Rose. If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John
go out, they will affectionately refer to each other
as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.
EATING OUT: When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie,
Bob and John will each throw in $20, even though
it's only for $32. 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.

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

DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to go
shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage,
answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and 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, favorite
foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people
living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Any married man should

remembering the same thing.
