The Things men say, and what they really mean


"I'M GOING FISHING"
Means: "I'm going to drink myself dangerously stupid, and stand by a stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety."

"IT'S A GUY THING"
Means: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical".

"CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?"
Means: "Why isn't it already on the table?"

"UH HUH," "SURE, HONEY," OR "YES, DEAR..."
Means: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.

"IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN"
Means: "I have no idea how it works."

"I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT'S JUST THAT I HAVE THINGS ON MY MIND."
Means: "I was wondering if that redhead over there is wearing a bra."

"TAKE A BREAK HONEY, YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD".
Means: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

"THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR."
Means: "Are you still talking?"

"YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS."
Means: "I remember the theme song to 'F Troop', the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the vehicle identification numbers of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday."

"I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU, AND GOT YOU THESE ROSES".
Means: "The girl selling them on the corner had great tits."

"OH, DON'T FUSS, I JUST CUT MYSELF, IT'S NO BIG DEAL."
Means: "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."

"HEY, I'VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I'M DOING".
Means: "And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon."

"I CAN'T FIND IT."
Means: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

"WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?"
Means: "What did you catch me at?"

"I HEARD YOU."
Means: "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next three days yelling at me."

"YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE"
Means: "I am used to the way you yell at me, and realize it could be worse."

"YOU LOOK TERRIFIC"
Means: "Please don't try on one more outfit, I'm starving."

"I'M NOT LOST. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE."
Means: "No one will ever see us alive again."

"WE SHARE THE HOUSEWORK"
Means: "I make the messes, she cleans them up."

"Kentucky Vasectomy"

A Kentucky couple, both certified rednecks, had nine children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband "fixed."

The doctor gladly started the required procedure and asked them what finally made them make the decision do this.

Why after nine children, the husband replied, they had read in a recent article that one out of every ten children being born in the United States was Mexican, and they didn't want to take a chance on having a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.

Flyboy Goes to Heaven

An air force officer arrives in heaven. St Peter asks him if he has ever done anything in his life that he believes makes him worthy of admittance to heaven. The officer flyboy replies; yes, I once went into a bar with four of my pilot friends and saw two Seabees harassing a young girl at the bar, so being a gentleman I went up to the biggest one and told him to leave this young lady alone. When he refused I told him again more forcefully. This time I slapped him across the face and told this Seabee to stand down. St Peter said this was a very good thing to do and asked when the pilot did this great act. The pilot replied; about 5 minutes ago! My friends should be here shortly!

What is the difference between a blue collar worker and a white collar worker? A blue collar worker washes his hands before he takes a leak and a white collar worker washes his hands after he takes a leak.

A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red.

One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.

The woman asked the gentlemen, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?" The gentlemen responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden naked in my trench coat and flash. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."

Well, the woman was so impressed, she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden hoping for the best.

One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?" No", she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous!

A guy from Phoenix received a call from his friends who were in Las Vegas; they told him to join them in for a wild weekend; being in fear of planes, he decided to drive all the way to Vegas in his 1969 Vokswagen Classic Beetle, which was not very reliable, but heīd take it anytime over a plane, so instead of a 45 minute flight he opted for a 3 hour drive taking Interstate 17.

Being far enough from Phoenix, the engine of his VW commenced hesitating, making weird noises and after a few minutes what he had was a broken-down engine.

His cellphone had no signal, so what he did was to sit outside his VW by the side of the dusty road waiting for potential help to pass by.

After some minutes, he heard a powerful noise increasing its pitch in the distance...it was a McLaren F1 approaching the spot where he laid, at 210 mph.

The McLaren roared leaving a huge cloud of dust, but he saw the car suddenly stopping, the driver put it into reverse and stopped right by the side of the dead VW:

McLaren guy: "Whatīs up buddy?"
VW Guy: "Hmmm...watching the pretty desert...in a dead car"
ML: "Is any help coming?"
VW: "Not really...i got a cellphone with no signal.."
ML: "Where you going?"
VW: "VEgas..."
ML: "Driving that???"
VW: (Silence)
ML: "Look i am in the middle of a wild race across the dessert...against a Bugatti Veyron...i left him behind...so i think i can help you, let me tow you.."
VW: "Tow me? hmmm...ok".

The VW guy found a chain inside the trunk of his car, and used it to have the car towed away...

VW: "Look, my car canīt go that fast, so please go easy...and if there is any trouble i will signal you using the lights...that would mean we have to either slow down or stop ok?"
ML: "Ok, letīs go, hurry up!" -as he nervously watched through the rear view mirror-

Now the VW was back on the road, being towed by a McLaren F1...everything seemed to be going just fine, when the 1969 Classic Beetle guy commenced hearing another infernal type of sound increasing its pitch from the distance-like a Stuka screaming on its infernal dive he thought-...watching through his rear view mirror he saw a huge cloud of dust...the Bugatti Veyron catching up, approaching at an estimate of 230 Mph...

His nightmare came true..for also the guy towing him, noticed the Bugatti closing in fast at superb speed...the McLaren F1 guy stepped on the gas pedal...off they went...

For one moment the Bugatti passed them, but after a few seconds the McLaren was right by the side of his enemy.

The VW guy was in total terror on board his old machine, clenching his teeth, dust clogging his nosetrils, his hair flying wildly and making furious signals with the lights of his poor car that seemed to be on the verge of physical disintegration...to no avail...

Then at some point, a highway patrol officer was smoking a cigarette, with his car by the side of the road, he saw all three cars passing by lifting a huge cloud of dust, putting his cigarette away and also his Dunkin donut, his message to his station:

"Here highway patrol 2-2-3...i am pursuing two luxury cars, possibly a McLaren F1 and another powerful car both exceeding 230 mph and...i swear...i swear to God and Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary...that an old VW Classic Beetle is right behind them signaling them with its lights to get out of the way!!!"
