Bradworthy News - July 1999

Men .vs. Women

Nicknames: If Karen, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle go out for lunch, they will call each other Karen, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle. But if Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.
Eating out: When the bill arrives, Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack will each throw in £20, even though the bill is only £20 (None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit he wants change back.) When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
Bathrooms: A man has six items in his bathroom-a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 437. 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 expecting that she won't change and she does.
Dressing up: A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail.; A man will dress up for: weddings, 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 and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
