Okay guys, watch out. I'm fix-
ing to go ahead and address this
column to women only! Natu-
rally, what I’m talking about is
men...and how they can't find
anything...not a single solitary
thing!
I know, I know, you think I'm
being unfair...but think about all
the jokes you guys make about
women drivers, women being
stupid, women being hysterical.
B u t ladies, have you ever known
a man who can find his socks if
you don't match 'em up in the
drawer?
How many times has this hap-
pened: he goes to the refrigerator
to look for...let’s say...the mus-
tard. He opens the door, gives a
quick glance inside and announces
"honey, we're out of mustard!".
"No we're not" you reply. He
opens the door again, takes an-
other peck,and again says there is
no mustard.
Finally you gel up and come
into the kitchen, open the door,
move one little item and there is
this big jar of mustard.
I don't know why this
is...personally I think they arc bom
this way...some sort of genetic
flaw.
And, over the years, almost all
men begin to expect that you will
know exactly where their belts,
socks, shoes, btxHs, shirts, pens,
glue,and virtually everything else
is. It sometimes seems to be the
female’s primary skill in life!
The same man who can walk to
a cluttered comer in his shbp and
find the smallest alien head wrench
can't locate his shirt when it's
hanging on a hanger in the closet.
Even worse is when a female
attempts to give a male direc-
tions to something!
Sitting on the couch with a lap
full ofcrochct, craft, book, shelled
peas or whatever the female never
learns. When her mate says
"Where's the can opener", instead
of simply putting up her stuff and
going urget it she invariably tries
telling him where to look.
It's in the drawer to the right of
the stove, behind the butcher
knives.
He will rummage in said
drawer...then announce "nope, it's
not here".
"Look over to thcright" she
answers.
"Nope, it's just not here" he
replies in frustration.
THEN she gets up, walks in
and finds the can opener in the
exact, precise location she had
said it was.
This causes ill feeling on both
sides!
It's an amazing
phenomenon...and one that in-
formal polling reveals most
couples have had to learn to live
with.
Fortunately, it's only good for
a few rueful smiles...if life's prob-
lems were ALL that simple
wouldn't it be grand!
