Men Are Just Happier People
 
NICKNAMES
 
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman.
 
 
EATING OUT
 
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
 
When the girls get their bill, outcome the pocket calculators...YEP!!!
 
 
MONEY
 
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
 
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
 
 
BATHROOMS
 
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
 
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
 
 
ARGUMENTS
 
A woman has the last word in any argument.
 
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
 
 
FUTURE
 
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
 
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
 
 
NATURAL
 
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
 
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
 
 
OFFSPRING
 
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
 
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
 
 
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 
A married man can forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

Hahhaha! Here's a funny story for you guys. 41 years ago when hubby and I were dating, as usual, we were taking a ride out in the hills, there was fresh unspoiled snow on the bank. Hubby or boyfriend then, is a beer drinker, so the time came for him to go water a lily. He hit the brakes, jumped out of the truck and proceded to 'write'

Don loves Jennif

and then he ran out of ink  :laugh:

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.


When I had Mopars back in the 70s, the driver's side lug nuts were left-handed threads.  That did take a little bit of thought.

A man can go to the bathroom by himself.  Women go in groups of three or more.

Mopar lug nuts.  I remember them well.  When the wife and I were going together she called me one day because her car had a flat.  Her brother was helping her change the tire but they couldn't get the left front lug nuts loose.  By the time I got over to their house I had remembered the rule about Mopar wheels so looked like a genius when I got there and got the nuts off.  I stay away from Chrysler products these days.
I always stand behind my work...
It makes me harder to find.

If I recall corrrectly, the bolts with the left handed threading were stamped on the end with an "L" to serve as a reminder.
Even so, they were always annoying.

You're right, Ef!  You're the winner!   :eusa_clap:  They DID have a small L on the end of the lug bolts.

I had a 68 GTX, 69 Roadrunner, a 68 and a 69 Charger and a 65 Fury.  The lug nuts were a good thing to know about.   ;)
