Pagans don't wear sandals!


 The "little lady" and I
Back to Full Blog  

I got a message from a female friend about "the nine words (phrases) that woman say". I got about half way through it when I realized this lenghty testimony to woman had to have been thought up by a man! It was so dead-on perfect!
One of the things "go ahead".
A friend of mine wanted US (Meaning Diane and I), to take a ride in a Limo. She said, and I quote: "You "go ahead". I want to finish cleaning." I didn't read the fine print, so I went. Four hours later my wife found us at the VFW, after about four other bars, and I was in great troubled waters!
"Why!" I said, "you told me to "go ahead"!" She took out the "nine things that woman say, and showed me the fine print.

There it was, in black and white- #4: "Go ahead. This is a dare, not permission, Don't do it!"

Now, when Diane says "go ahead", I must weigh the consequences. Will it be a sexual neglect, burnt food, or just that irritating stone cold silence! Oh, woe unto man. I wonder if this was in the original (God's) contract between woman and man? I will post this "nine".
Some are so, hilariously, right that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Just kidding
I quote:

9 WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to (the hell) shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game (hey, that last five minutes IS the game!) before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. (so, "go ahead")

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! (I kept telling everybody-"she said go ahead, she said go ahead!")

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often (often?) misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: (a derivitive of "go ahead") This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. (Oh, woe unto men!)

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying ____ YOU! (Oh please, _____me!)

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

I love this! It's so, painfully true.
Joe

This would be good in the "Trouble Shooting" section of the hard-to-find
man's operating manual for marriage.

I didn't get through any of the nine....you made me laugh at the story of #4.


So now I shall return to read the other 8

Okay, I have to disagree with you.....and man could NOT have written these.

How would (a) he actually know that the loud sigh really is "I am so tired of you" in our minds?

Joe - I have truly tried to mean what I say but I do admit to having a rather ambigous definition to words from time to time. But then let me ask - if women always meant exactly what they said - would your life as men not be dull and boring?????!!!!! Just asking ! June

June,
When we get together as a family unit,
the conversation always comes back to
something stupid I did. It's because of
this Biblical difference between man and
wo(e)man.
And life would, indeed, be very dull if
that difference weren't there. I wonder
if all woman do that, or is it just an
American thing.

chandabear,
Yes, how would we know? "The sigh", it is so
mystifying. Sometimes I feel like a stupid assed
kid! When Diane says, "Joseph!" I run like hell!
"Joe" means "honey, can you help me?"
"Joseph!" means, "Why did (didn't) you do this?"
Yours, in faithful love and admiration
"Joseph!"

CM,
They came in an e-mail from a female friend.
She probably did it to help my wife out. Geez,
my wife doesn't need any help. This stuff is
packaged, along with the vagina!
I'd better leave with that!

I would like to share a funny story with you. I was making meatloaf - both hands totally submersed in beef and realized I needed something. So I called the hubby - from the living room I hear "Huh?". So I repeat....I get "what?". At this point he is now being referred to as Jesus' full name....you know, the one where he has adopted a middle name of "H".

He was outside the whole time....it was our parrot mimicking my husband's voice and responding to my questions.

Whit,
Wisdom yes. Where can I find this manual.
I know, the Horse is out of the barn.
I'd like to find out how bad a f... up I
really am!
I can play a little guitar, and that has
helped. I told my sons,"learn some musical
instrument. You never know when you'll need it!"

They know now....!

chandabear,
Great story! But, does your husband
get credit for that or, does he share
it with the parrot!
Hey, that sounds like a song!

"Oh, I told her honey I got drunk last night
her finger said where I could bear it!
now I'mn sleepin' on the front porch in misery
and I have to share it, with the Parrot!"

Joe,
VFW - Village for Winos.
She dared you and you dared.
You are a brave man!

WP,
I prefer Village For Winos, but that's good.
My bravery is a legend among men here. I have
weathered the storms of marriage and the young,
they seek out my advice.

It is simple my friends.
Pound an ear, "I can't hear you;
Your words are too distant to me!"
To make ammends, give her kisses,
and bless her for living;
then walk off in a stupor,
"Honey, I have to pee!"
Happy days, my friends.
Joe

Joe:

These are some of the best reasons that I have ever seen for STAYING SINGLE. I couldn't possibly even remember ONE of those.. for me, marriage would be certain suicide.

I'm a married woman and your post makes me think about how I do respond to My Dear Chuck. I'm not certain. I'll have to interact with him this weekend and see if I really do use the 9 words. You would think after being married for over 40 years, I would automatically know.

Funny post, thanks for sharing,
Karen

RieVanBib,
Thank you for responding. It's always nice to see
old Veterans of the couple entanglements on Blogstream.
Diane and I have been married 37 years. Believe me,
at least, I never stop learning!
# 4 intrigued me because I, specifically, remembered those
very words being spoken by her. It was psychic.
It's wonderful to hear from new people. Bless you, and
have a long happy life,
Joe

Anexplorer,
After 37 years, I'm still trying to make sense of it!
But, if it weren't for the Ladies, what thrills we
wouldn't have, I can't imagine a replacement. Ane they,
us too. I can't imagine a world without us to take our
flawed presense to the Queens of logic.
That's what Diane always uses, logic. They really do
have a superior logic!
Bless the ladies. Here's to ye'!

But Scratch,
Think what you'd be missing.
Cooking: They are 90% better at the craft than men.
Even the bad women cooks are good!
Cleaning: I clean, but when she cleans, the shine is all there.
Making love: You don't have to go out, dress up, put on a false facade, to find a lady. She's right there! And, as the great Paul Newman once said, to Playbot Magazine, "Why have hamburger, when I can have Steak at home."

AZRON,
Diane and I don't get Limo rides,
so I thought she would be game for it!
This friend runs the Limo service,
and decided it's the best way to get
around to the taverns.
The rest, as they say...

Joe,

I have only ridden in a limo 2x in my life - I have to say it is the most uncomfortable ride I have ever had - a horse rides better!!!!

AZRON,
There is a Tree in Crapo Park that has to be a couple of hundred years old. I can stick my fingers down its bark canals. Some are
several inches deep. Maybe it's because I love Trees, but I 'feel' something when I touch that Tree. Can you imagine what that Tree has witnessed? There is nothing more beautiful. In the winter, the snow sticks to her gnarled bark, making her Zebra. She's the only one to watch during the Storm. Talk about a fight for survival! The wind curls its lip but she bobs and weaves her way through it.
No 'extreme' fight can beat that!
Have a wonderful day.
PS: Were you doing something on the Darfur holocaust? How is that going?

AZRON,
Maybe it's the length or something else,
but I noticed that too. It wasn't near
the ride Diane has in her Caddilac. It
really was bumping and not too smooth.

Sounds like an interesting tree!

We don't have many interesting trees in AZ - or at least I have not found them.

As to Darfur - thank you for asking.

I have a friend who has just taken a 5 year assignment in Sudan. He and his wife are working in the south where people are returning and begining life again. As to Darfur which is in western Sudan, there are still reports of 'ethnic cleansing'. At our agency we are not getting many Sudanese refugees these days - usually a sign that things are getting better.

I think you might find this interesting. As you know our 'expedition' into Iraq has created many Iraqi refugees. The US government is fast-tracking these people out off Syria and Jordan ASAP into our country. I am meeting Iraqi refugees who have been in refugee camps for less than a month. As you know, we let refugees languish for years in refugees camps (average is about 8 years for most of them). I find this a very interesting political phenomena.

I hope you have a nice day

Joe,

I think it is the length - and you have fold yourself to get in - most uncomfortable - and no way to be graceful!!

AZRON,
Those refugee kids are in my morning prayer.
I hope, someday. we can learn to do what we
are supposed to do: Take care of the young.

Might I assume then that if my lady friend used all nine of these in one conversation I am a dead man walking?

troublesome,
If she used all nine in one conversation,
COVER YOUR NUTS! You're headed for the
wood shed!
Good luck, and keep your ears open. And
remember guys, the secret sign!
He! He! He!
