From Reader's Digest


While I was driving through a seedy area of San Diego, I noticed that sandwiched between a strip bar and a liquor store sat a storefront with all of its windows suspiciously blacked out. Over the door was a sign that proudly declared, "Welcome to Kink-O's. We have nothing to do with office supplies."

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.


Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour.


The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field!

Man Rules


Finally, here is the guys' side of the story. We always hear "the rules" from the female side.


Now here are the rules from the male side.


These are our rules!


Please note: these are all numbered "1 "


ON PURPOSE!




1. Men are NOT mind readers.


1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down.


You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.


1. Sunday sports: It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.


1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.


1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:

Subtle hints do not work!

Strong hints do not work!

Obvious hints do not work!

Just say it!

1. “Yes” and “No” are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.


1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.


In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.


1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.


1. You can either ask us to do something, or tell us how you want it done.


Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.


1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.


1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.


1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.


Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.


1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.


1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.


1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.


1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf.


1. You have enough clothes.


1. You have too many shoes.


1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!


Thank you for reading this.


Yes, I know. I have to sleep on the couch tonight. But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.



Dress Code for People Over 40

Many of us "Old Folks" (those over 40, WAY over 40 or hovering near 40) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

1. A nose ring and bifocals

2. Spiked hair and bald spots

3. A pierced tongue and dentures

4. Minis skirts and support hose

5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

6. Speedo's and cellulite

7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

10. Bikinis and liver spots

11. Short shorts and varicose veins

12. Inline skates and a walker

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop.
