Default Women

If you are gender sensitive...please read no further..

9 WORDS/SAYINGS WOMEN USE

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when
they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half
an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given
five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually
end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal
statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you
are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and
arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of
nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a
women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and
hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint.
Just say you're welcome.

8. Whatever: Is a women's way of saying #@&)% YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement,
meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several
times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man
asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

I shared this with the woman in my life who read it and said..."uh huh".

I looked and could not find "uh huh" in the list.

I am very frightened.

Words of wisdom, as we've come to expect from John. I shared it with she-who-must-be-obeyed, who doesn't care what anyone says because she undertsands that the world was once matriarchal and, secretly, still is.

If from this point forward, everytime you say "I love you"
and she keeps saying "uh huh"... it's all over but the
crying.

"uh huh" = "I will remember that... forever".

It was nice knowing you Jim.

Well, I'm not showing it to my wife. I'm already in the doghouse for arguing with all you guys on here and active rain. I keep telling her that I'm trying to learn something. She just said, "uh-huh." I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "nothing." Tomorrow morning, since I have nothing scheduled, I think I'll cut the grass, take out the garbage, and put up those shelves she's been wanting in her sewing room.

Now, If y'all will excuse me, my couch awaiteth.
