Mens rules for Women!

by Every guy in America:

1. It is only common courtesy that you should leave the seat on the toilet UP when you are done.

2. If you are cooking a special dinner for a man, be sure to include

something from each of the four major male food groups:*** Meat, Fried, Beer, and Red.***

3. Dont make him hold your purse in the mall.

4. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary in many of the fine bars and fraternities throughout the country, not all men are cretins deserving your contempt.

5. Shopping is not fascinating.

6. When he asks for a threesome with you and your best friend, he is only joking.

7. Unless the answer is yes.

8. In which case, can he videotape it?

9. If you REALLY want a nice guy, stop dating good-looking assholes.

10. The man is ALWAYS in charge of poking the campfire with a stick and/or tending the grill.

11. Trying to provoke a large, dangerous-looking felon from across the room is not funny.

12. Money does not equate love. Not even in Nevada.

13. Any attempt by a man to prepare food, no matter how feeble .. (ie Microwaving a burrito, fixing Spaghetti, etc) should be met with roughly the same degree of praise a parent might shower upon their infant when it walks for the first time.

14. Those male models with perfect bodies are all gay. Accept it.

15. He heard you the first time.

16. You know, YOU can ask HIM out too… Lets spread the rejection around a little.

17. If you truly want honesty, dont ask questions you dont really want the answer to.

18. Of COURSE he wants another beer.

19. The guy doesnt ALWAYS have to sleep on the wet spot.

20. Dogs good. Cats bad.

21. Any sort of injury involving the testicles is not funny.

22. If he has to sit through Legends of the Fall, you have to sit through Showgirls.

23. Fine. is not an acceptible way to end an argument.

24. Do not question a mans innate navigational abilities by suggesting he stop for directions.

25. He was not looking at that other girl.

26. Well, okay… maybe a little.

27. Okay, so what! He was looking at her. Big deal. Like you never looked at another guy…

28. There is nothing inherently wrong with the word motorcycle.

29. He is the funniest, strongest, best-looking, most successful man you have ever met.

30. And all your friends think so too. Especially the cute ones.

31. Your (select appropriate item:) butt/boobs/hair/makeup/legs look fine. As a matter of fact, it/they look damn good. Stop asking.

32. If you want a satisfying sex life, you will NEVER fake an orgasm.

33. It is not necessary to discuss the heaviness of your menstrual flow with him.

34. Remember: that Nair bottle looks an awful lot like shampoo if left in the shower.

35. Two words: blow job. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

36. Dirty laundry comes in several categories: Looks fine/smells fine, Looks fine/smells bad, Looks dirty/smells fine. Unless you intend to wash it, do not try to disrupt piles organized in this manner.

37. Yes, Sharon Stone/Pamela Anderson/Cindy Crawford is prettier than you. Just like Brad Pitt/Antonio Banderas/Keanu Reeves is better looking than him. But since neither one of you is going to be dating any of these people, love the one youre with.

38. Of course size matters, and boy does he have the grandaddy of them all.

39. His (fill in appropriate selections:) bald spot/beer gut/impossibly thick glasses/impotency/scabby rash, is cute.

40. Dont hog the covers.

41. Watching football is a major turn-on for you. But please wait until the halftime show to act upon that…

42. He does not just want to be friends.

43. A successful date always starts with the woman uttering the sentence:

Sublimation

Some time ago, I was taking a ground school class for private pilots.
During the sessions on weather, the instructor wanted to discuss the concept
of sublimation – the act of going from a gas to a solid skipping the
intermediate stage(s). e.g., frost – water vapor in the air becoming a
solid on surfaces without first going through the liquid stage.

Wanting to see if the class had understood the concept, the instructor asked
if anyone could provide an example of something that went straight from a
solid to a gas (expecting dry ice as the answer), a previously unknown
section of my mind took control of my mouth and immediately emitted the word
burrito.

It took the instructor about 10 minutes to regain an academic composure.

Old Men With Blow-Up Dolls

There was these two old men sitting in one of the old mens house. They havent had sex in 20 years… The first old man then said,I have an idea…Lets go to the whore house and have sex with a young lady! The other old man agreed and they went to the whore house and went to the lady up front and asked her for one woman each to have sex with.. The lady behind the counter thought,well my girls are to good for these old mean,so Ill give them blow up dolls…They wont know the difference. So she gave them each a blow up doll and the old men thought they were real living girls.. They went to a room did their business and came out and went home.. On the way home the 1st old man said,You know..when i was doing my business i think that girl was dead,she didnt say anything,move or anything..Just laid there he looekd at the other old man and said,what do you think? The other old man looked at him and said,I think mine was a witch.. the first old man asked,Why you say that? and the 2nd old man responded,Because when I bit her on the boob she farted and flew out the window.

FAQs — Men — 2

Why wont men ever pick up after themselves?

Why should we? It doesnt really bother us that much. Besides, we know darn well youll pick it up.





——————————————————————————–

Whats with all the belching and farting?

This usually only occurs after months of courting. Its our way to let you know that were comfortable with you. Believe it or not, its actually a sign of affection. Besides, holding it for extended periods of time gives us stomach cramps.





——————————————————————————–

Why do men hate shopping?

Its an evolutionary thing. Men hunt. Women gather. We just want to go out, kill it, and bring it back. Who wants to spend hours and hours to look at things we have no intention of killing? err… Buying?





——————————————————————————–

Why cant men ever leave the toilet seat down?

Have you ever seen one of us pee? The proper position of the toilet seat is up. Mathematically speaking, the proper position of the toilet seat is a function of the time spent peeing over the time spent sitting. The closer that ratio approaches one, the truer the proposition. Besides, its actually a courtesy that we lift the seat. Why would we care if we pee all over the seat. Youre the ones that have to sit on it. You should appreciate the fact that we actually lift the darn thing. We aim to please.





——————————————————————————–

Why do men find blonde bimbos attractive?

Are you kidding? Even leaving the physical aside, blonde bimbos are generally much easier to get along (alone) with. They like having fun and doing exciting things. They dont walk around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. They dont ever give us a hard time for being a dumb male; and plus they laugh at most of our jokes (even the ones they dont get). What more could any of us males ask for?





——————————————————————————–

Why do men act like they own the remote control?

What do you mean act? We do; possession is nine tenth of the law. Besides, it is an awesome responsibility not to be entrusted to just anyone. I believe the only fair way to decide who gets the remote control is to arm wrestle for it.





——————————————————————————–

Why cant men stay on a single channel for more than two seconds?

Are you kidding? What if there is something good on the next channel? We could miss it if we stay on one channel for too long. (See also: Why do men fear commitment?)





——————————————————————————–

Why do men fear commitment?

Dont be so surprised. Yes; most of us do know what commitment means and can spell it correctly. Its like an automobile. No matter how good you think this years model is, theyre always coming out with newer, faster, better, sleeker, and sexier models. We simply cannot be expected to purchase the first one we see. We must browse around a bit and test drive a few. Who wants to end up with a lemon? At least a car, theres a slight chance of it eventually becoming a classic. It simply makes much more sense to lease and upgrade to the younger… err… I mean newer models every couple of years. Some of them come with fun extras like dual air bags.





——————————————————————————–

What does it mean when men say, Im just not ready for a relationship right now or I dont want a girl friend?

It means that we like you enough to sleep with you, but not enough so that we want to see you repeatedly.





——————————————————————————–

What does it mean when men say, Can we just be friends?

Generally, it means that the recipient of said comment is physically repulsive enough that no beer goggles may be thick enough to provide adequate protection.





——————————————————————————–

Do all men really masturbate?

Yes. It is genetically inherited behavior. Its been passed on from our most primal forefathers, and itll be passed on to our sons.





——————————————————————————–

Why do men generally have greater upper body strength?

Several factors are at work, namely evolution, heredity, nutrition, and environment. (See also: Do all men really masturbate?)





——————————————————————————–

Why do men generally have better hand-eye or spatial coordinate motor coordination?

It is like with all things. Practice… Practice… Practice… (See also: Do all men really masturbate?)





——————————————————————————–

Why are men so obsessed with beautiful women?

As opposed to what? Really ugly women? Face it, if men were obsessed with ugly women, there would be just as much bitching about why men are so obsessed with ugly women. No matter how you set this up, some people are always going to be left out. I dont see anyone screaming about equal treatment for the stupid people either.





——————————————————————————–

Why do men like younger women?

Well, lets see. Besides the fact that they like older men, theyre easily impressed. Theyre also perky, energetic, and come with very little baggage. And gravity has less prevail over their bodies.





——————————————————————————–

Why do men only have one thing on their minds?

While technically correct, this statement is not strictly true. We may only be able to entertain one idea at a time, but we do think of lots of other things besides sex, such as sports and beer. We also get hungry quite often.





——————————————————————————–

How can men possibly find that other woman attractive (i.e. whatever do you see in that fat pig)?

Even if you happen to be Cindy Crawford, once we get the idea that you are ours, other women suddenly become much more attractive and you lose a few attractiveness points. Im a bit puzzled by this one myself. I think evolution is to blame. We men are just innocent bystanders in the war of the selfish genes. You should love us despite our inherent weakness.





——————————————————————————–

Why are men such dogs?

I resent that. Dogs are faithful… loyal… affectionate… and obedient…

Software Metrics

The software engineering community has been placing a great deal of
emphasis lately on metrics and their use in software development. The
following metrics are probably among the most valuable for a software
project:

The Pizza Metric

How: Count the number of pizza boxes in the lab.
What: Measures the amount of schedule under-estimation.
If people are spending enough after-hours time
working on the project that they need to have
meals delivered to the office, then there has
obviously been a mis-estimation somewhere.

The Aspirin Metric

How: Maintain a centrally-located aspirin bottle for use
by the team. At the beginning and end of each month,
count the number of aspirin remaining aspirin in the
bottle.
What: Measures stress suffered by the team during the project.
This most likely indicates poor project design in the
early phases, which causes over-expenditure of effort
later on. In the early phases, high aspirin-usage
probably indicates that the products goals or other
parameters were poorly defined.

The Beer Metric

How: Invite the team to a beer bash each Friday. Record the
total bar bill.
What: Closely related to the Aspirin Metric, the Beer Metric
measures the frustration level of the team. Among
other things, this may indicate that the technical
challenge is more difficult than anticipated.

The Creeping Feature Metric

How: Count the number of features added to the project after
the design has been signed off, but that were not requested
by any requirements definition.
What: This measures schedule slack. If the team has time to add
features that are not necessary, then there was too much
time allocated to a schedule task.

The Duck! Metric

How: This one is tricky, but a likely metric would be to
count the number of engineers that leave the room when
a marketing person enters. This is only valid after a
requirements document has been finalized.
What: Measures the completeness of the initial requirements.
If too many requirements changes are made after the product
has been designed, then the engineering team will be wary
of marketing, for fear of receiving yet another change to
a design which met all initial specifications.

The Status Report Metric

How: Count the total number of words dedicated to the project
in each engineers status report.
What: This is a simple way to estimate the smoothness with which
the project is running. If things are going well, an item
will likely read, I talked to Fred; the widgets are on
schedule. If things are not going as well, it will say,
I finally got in touch with Fred after talking to his
phone mail for nine days straight. It appears that the
widgets will be delayed due to snow in the Ozarks, which
will cause the whoozits schedule to be put on hold until
widgets arrive. If the whoozits schedule slips by
three weeks, then the entire project is in danger of
missing the July deadline.

Kiss Kiss

There was a married couple who were in a terrible accident. The womans face was burned severely. The doctor told the husband they couldnt graft any skin from her body because she was so skinny. The husband then donated some of his skin…however, the only place suitable to the doctor was from his buttocks. The husband requested that no one be told of this, because after all this was a very delicate matter!

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the womans new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever did before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at her youthful beauty! She was alone with her husband one day & she wanted to thank him for what he did.

She said, Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!

He replied, Oh dont worry, Honey, I get plenty thanks enough every time your mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek!

Statisticians

Excerpted from Quotes, damned quotes and… by John Bibby.

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they
translate into their own language and forthwith it is something
entirely different. (Goethe)

If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9
times out of ten it will. (Paul Harvey News, 1979)

Give us a copper Guv, said the beggar to the Treasury
statistician when he waylaid him in Parliament square. I
havent eaten for three days. Ah, said the statistician, And
how does that compare with the same period last year? (Russell
Lewis)

I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of
Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call
for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want
is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than
when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political
statistic. (Winston Churchill)

You havent told me yet, said Lady Nuttal, what it is your
fiance does for a living?

Hes a statistician, replied Lamia, with an annoying sense of
being on the defensive.

Lady Nuttal was obviously taken aback. It had not occurred to
her that statisticians entered into normal social relationships.
The species, she would have surmised, was perpetuated in some
collateral manner, like mules.

But Aunt Sara, its a very interesting profession, said Lamia
warmly.

I dont doubt it, said her aunt, who obviously doubted it very
much. To express anything important in mere figures is so
plainly impossible that there must be endless scope for
well-paid advice on how to do it. But dont you think that
life with a statistician would be rather, shall we say,
humdrum?

Lamia was silent. She felt reluctant to discuss the surprising
depth of emotional possibility which she had discovered below
Edwards numerical veneer.

Its not the figures themselves, she said finally. its what
you do with them that matters. (K.A.C. Manderville, The undoing
of Lamia Gurdleneck)
