WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:


Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress -$5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time!

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

Your last name stays put.
Try getting people to spell it correctly.

The garage is all yours.
Now if I could just keep it organized.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.
But the bill doesn't.

Chocolate is just another snack.
Not true it also serves as a gift, distraction and bribery.

You can be President.
Only an idiot would want that job.

You can never be pregnant.
A nurse told me that having a kidney stone hurts just as much and I've had one of those, so does that count?

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
So why does it always end up being a Led Zeppellin one?

You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Doesn't always make it right.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.
Not true, you just have to know what they are talking about.

The world is your urinal.
Okay I admit that is convenient.

You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.
See above.

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Until you come across the wayward left-handed thread.

Same work, more pay.
I need a job right now.

Wrinkles add character.
...and they add wrinkles.

Wedding dress -$5000. Tux rental-$100.
Did I mention the bill part?

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
That's because there is nothing there, what's the point?

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
Oh! Have I got stories!

One mood all the time!
Wrong!!! That mood changes to the other one when we are drunk.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
Unless you are calling a service centre.

You know stuff about tanks.
That is cool isn't it? What do you want to know?

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
So why do we end up carrying three?

You can open all your own jars.
You do know how we get strong hands right?

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
Oh it's no problem, I'm enjoying writing this out.

If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Water under the bridge.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
...and they've got four sides.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
With or without counting motorcycle boots?

You almost never have strap problems in public.
Ever have an itch or get sweaty?

You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Clothes wrinkle? Huh.

Everything on your face stays its original color.
This one I just don't understand.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
Suuurrrrre, if you have hair.

You only have to shave your face and neck.
...and face and face and face and face.

You can play with toys all your life.
I can't say what I want here, this is a family-oriented site.

One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.
Is this like the face colour changing thing? Cause I still don't get that.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
...and they don't have to match the tan on your face. Hey! Colour on my face. I get it! I get it!

You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife.
You mean like clean them and stuff right? Or is there something else we can do with them? Like cut off a piece and then fling it and kill a man. Yeah!!

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
Not all mustaches are created equal.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
Sometimes on December 26.

Unfortunately our life is run, almost entirely, by the driving force behind "the world is your urinal" line. And while we can take full control of that situation,it can become a lonely experience. Likened to pulling up to the self serve island.
Thank God for motorcycles.

Wojo.....

Men carry the 3 suitcases (2 of the 3 being mine- well, and ok, I've probably taken some of the guy's stuff out of his while he was off looking at the flight reservations- to make room for one more outfit and shoes for ME...) so we can run around looking for non-icky bathrooms in the airport.

Well, I for one certainly hope "somebody" comes back from their sea cruise in a little better mood, and won't feel the need to start some sort of GENDER WAR around here!


(look lady...we seem to have enough hurt feelings around here lately AS IT IS, every single time somebody here starts a friggin' HARLEY THREAD, ya know???!!!)

Hey, is it proper etiquette to p*** off someone with a new Harley posting or is it ok to p*** them off by re-posting to an old thread?

Hmmmmm! I'm not sure about that, Barry. Maybe we should get a ruling on this from Phil...or maybe...Leticia Baldridge.


(though I doubt she'd have the definitive answer to the "re-posting" question, it sure appears that THAT'S a touchy subject for our Administrator around here, huh?!)

I gotta say it was kinda funny when I went into walmart yesterday to get oil and an oil filter for my car. The guy at the checkout just looks at me and goes "how liberating! a lady that changes her own oil!" I couldn't help it...he deserved my smarta** response ..."yea I ride my own motorcycle too...what do ya think of that!?"

Heres one for the ladies.

Oil Change, Men and Women.

Women.

1. Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 since the last oil change.
2. Drink a cup of coffee.
3. 15 minutes later, write check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle.

Men.

1. Go to auto parts store and write a check for $50 for oil, filter, oil lifter (AKA kitty litter), hand cleaner and scented tree.
2. Discover that the used oil container is full. Spend 10 minutes cussing. Dump old oil in hole in back yard.
3. Open a beer and drink it.
4. Jack up car. Spend 30 minutes cussing while looking for jack stands.
5. In frustration, open another beer and drink it.
6. Place oil pan under engine.
7. Look for ratchet
8. Look for 9/16 socket to go on ratchet.
9. Spend 15 minutes cussing, then use adjustable wrench.
10. Drop drain plug in hot oil, get hot oil on you and spend 15 minutes cussing while you clean hot oil of your hands and arms.
11. Have another beer while oil is draining.
12. Drink a beer and clean up spilt oil.
13. Look for the special $50 oil filter wrench you brought for the last oil change you did.
14. Spend 15 minutes cussing, then poke oil filter with Phillips screwdriver and twist off.
15. Beer break.
16. Buddy shows up, finish case of beer with him. Finish oil change tomorrow.
17. Next day, drag oil pan from under car.
18. Spend twenty minutes cussing while you clean up spilt oil from step 17.
19. Beer. Spend 15 minutes cussing your buddy who drank all the beer yesterday.
20. Go to the store and buy more beer
21. Dump first quart of new oil in engine.
22. Hurry to replace drain plug before the whole quart of fresh oil drains onto the floor. Begin cussing fit.
23. Slip with adjustable wrench and bang knuckles on frame.
24. Begin another cussing fit.
25. Throw wrench at the wall.
26. Cuss for an additional 10 minutes because wrench hit Miss December and marked up her left tit.
27. Put the rest of fresh oil in the engine.
28. Clean up and apply band-aid to bleeding knuckle.
29. Drink a beer.
30. Lower car from jack stands.
31. Accidentally crush one jack stand. Spend 15 minutes cussing at cheap jack stands and how they don’t make things like they used to.
32. Move car back to apply oil lift (AKA kitty litter) to fresh oil spilled during step 27.
33. Drive car ½ quart of oil low for 7000 miles when it’ll be time for another oil change.
34. Sit back, drink a beer and think how women have no idea the effort it takes to keep a car in tip top condition.

I can't find it now, but someone sent me a schematic entitled something like "Men and Women Shop For Jeans at The Gap."
The schematic shows a layout of a mall map. The blue line (man) goes into the mall and goes straight to the Gap. The pink line (woman) goes into the mall, goes in and out of EVERY store, EXCEPT the Gap, and then leaves the mall.

I have a hard time hearing if there is a lot of back ground noise, like the tv, or radio etc etc.. Comes from to many years of listening ot the siren going down the road. Sometime I use it to my advantage.
