Because I'm a Guy
Because I'm a guy, I must hold the television remote control
in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I'll miss
a whole show looking for it, though one time I was able to survive by
holding a calculator.
Because I'm a guy, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a
wire clothes hanger and ignore your suggestions that we call a road
service until long after hypothermia has set in. Oh, and when the car
isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as
if I know what I'm looking at. If another guy shows up, one of us will
say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with
all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start." We
will then drink beer.
Because I'm a guy, when I catch a cold I need someone to bring me soup
and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You never get as sick
as I do, so for you this isn't an issue.
Because I'm a guy, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at
the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic
items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know these are the same thing.
And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for
which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism.
Because I'm a guy, when one of our appliances stops working I will
insist on taking it apart -- despite evidence that this will just cost
me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it
back together.
Because I'm a guy, I don't think we're all that lost, and no, I don't
think we should stop and ask someone. Why would you listen to a
complete stranger -- how the heck could HE know where we're going?
Because I'm a guy, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about.
The answer is always either sex or football, though I have to make up
something else when you ask, so don't.
Because I'm a guy, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your
mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her
any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay,
I don't need to see it. Did you remember to pick up something for my
mom, too?
Because I'm a guy, I am capable of announcing, "one more beer and I
really have to go," and mean it every single time I say it, even when
it gets to the point that the one bar closes and my buddies and I have
to go hunt down another. I will find it increasingly hilarious to have
my pals call you to tell you I'll be home soon, and no, I don't
understand why you threw all my clothes into the front yard. What's the
connection?
Because I'm a guy, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.
Because I'm a guy, yes, I have to turn up the radio when Bruce
Springsteen or The Doors comes on, and then, yes, I have to tell you
every single time about how Bruce had his picture on the cover of Time
and Newsweek the same day, or how Jim Morrison is buried in Paris and
everyone visits his grave. Please do not behave as if you do not find
this fascinating.
Because I'm a guy, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what
you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes
is fine. With the belt or without it looks fine. Your hair is fine. You
look fine. Can we just go now?
Because I'm a guy and this is, after all, the '90s, I will share
equally in the housework. You do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning
and the dishes. I'll do the rest.
thats because im a guy...........................................so deal with it! :-P
