34theletterbetweenB&D Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 It took a lot of patient searching to find a woman who used (and continues to use) direct language. For those who follow Terry Pratchett's Discworld she's very like Spike, though without the smoking. It's good, no guesswork whatsoever required.

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted November 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2012 Anything involving the word "Fine", often said abruptly, often means the exact opposite. Oh God no, if it was that simple, life would be a dream. IF all you had to do was reverse the meaning of such words, we guys wouldn't have a problem. Reverse logic would be SOOOO easy to master. Another example. If you get asked if you want chops or sausages cooked for dinner, you don't seriously think your being asked your opinion do you? If you innocently say chops (or sausages), the odds are you'll get a comment like, 'Oh you want chops (or sausages), do you'? Its obvious you have made a serious blunder & picked the wrong ingredient for dinner. YOU thought you had a 50% chance OR YOU thought you were being given the call. But no, its a challenge to see if you can keep up. Epic Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You have to be very dumb indeed to actually get killed by a woman. Just so long as there is the promise of continuing entertainment from the ambiguous treatment they are much more likely to spare you for further torment...

ianwales Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi all Whenever I see a thread like this it reminds me of the old joke about how God made heaven and earth in 6 days, saw it was good and then he rested. Then he created man, saw it was good and then he rested. Then he created Woman and no one has been able to rest since Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 .... it reminds me of the old joke about how God made heaven and earth in 6 days, saw it was good and then he rested. Then he created man, saw it was good and then he rested. Then he created Woman and no one has been able to rest since Alternatively: Q: Why did God make Man before he made Woman? A: Because He didn't want any advice on how to make Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingsignalman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I remember going into the Arts and Crafts Studio in Chester to look at the model railways more than a few years ago. My dearly beloved said to me, "I'll wait outside, you won't be long". I'm still not sure if it was a comment or a command!

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted November 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2012 So sat in the zone of uncertainty outside changing rooms waiting for one's loved one to emerge with her carefully selected new rags - how does a bloke survive? Heres s strategy.... If it doesnt look right - of course it must be a problem with the item itself! That size label must be wrong... the colour doesnt look right on you etc etc But if it looks good - its your good lady that makes it so! Wow, that looks great on you - that colour really suits you etc etc If you go down the latter route be prepared for severe wallet damage however!!!! But a good excuse to visit the local model emporium shortly afterwards.... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
