What are men like?

My sister sent this email to me. It tickles the shit out of me and you'd understand why if you knew my sister. For those of you that know me, image my character and personality times conservative (not politically) to the 10th power. This is so unlike my sister to even forward something like this!!

1.Men are like ........Laxatives ...... They irritate the shit out of you.

2.Men are like ........ Bananas ...... The older they get, the less firm they are.

3.Men are like ........ Weather ..... Nothing can be done to change them..

4.Men are like ........ Blenders ..... You need One, but you're not quite sure why.

5.Men are like ....... Chocolate Bars .... Sweet, smooth, &they usually head right for your hips.

6.Men are like ....... Commercials ...... You can't believe a word they say.

7.Men are like ........ Department Stores ..... Their clothes are always 1/2 off.

8.Men are like ........ Government Bonds ..... They take soooooooo long to mature.

9.Men are like ....... Mascara ...... They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

10.Men are like ....... Popcorn . ..... They satisfy you, but only for a little while.

11.Men are like . ... Snowstorms .... You never know when they're coming,
how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.

12.Men are like ........ Lava Lamps ..... Fun to look at, but not very bright.

13.Men are like ........ Parking Spots ....... All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

I must say #11 is the thing that irritates me most about men, their "resemblance" to snowstorms.

Some translations (what women say, and what it really means):

Fine: This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut you up. NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

Five minutes: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

Nothing: This means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".

Go Ahead (with raised eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".

Go Ahead (normal eyebrows): This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a raised eyebrow "Go ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement very misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

Soft Sighs: Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that you can actually understand. She is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.

Oh: This word followed by any statement is trouble. Example; "Oh, let me get that". Or, "Oh, I talked to so and so about what you were doing last night." If she says "Oh" before a statement, RUN, do not walk, to the nearest exit. She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your clothes out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at least 2 days.

Oh (as the lead to a sentence): Usually signifies that you are caught in a lie. Do not try to lie more to get out of it, or you will get a raised eyebrows "Go ahead" followed by acts so unspeakable that we can't bring ourselves to write about them.

That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go ahead". At some point in the near future when she has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

Please Do: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".

Thanks: A woman is thanking you. Do not faint; just say you're welcome.

Thanks a lot: This is much different from "Thanks". A woman will say, "Thanks a lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh", as she will only tell you "Nothing".

(I'll grant you that yours were funnier, though...)
