A friend forwarded this e-mail yesterday, and I found it too true not to share . . .

Men Are Just Happier People — what do you expect from such simple creatures?

  • Your last name stays put.
  • The garage is all yours.
  • 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 or you donʼt have to wear any 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 because the restroom was 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.
  • 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.
  • Wedding dress: $5000; tux rental: $100; wedding plans taking care of themselves: PRICELESS
  • 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 your gift shopping for 25 relatives on December 24th in 23 minutes. 

No wonder men are happier!

    LOL, this is a riot! Almost none of it applies to my husband, as he always notices wrinkles and spots on his clothes, packs more than I do for a trip, and owns dozens of shoes. But, true to the list, he can never be pregnant! Gotta love fun Fridays!

    Yup, so true, so true. :)

    Oh my! That is SO true! There are many, many times when I wish I could trade places. Being raised with 3 brothers has reduced my typical ‘female’ tendencies, but it doesn’t even come close to being marks in my favor.

    Thanks for the laugh, Kaye!

    OMG! I love that. It is so funny! I love stuff that shows contrast between girls and guys. Once I read a series and the whole thing was about 2 family’s kids, one all boys, the other all girls. They were neighbors, and it was all about these battles the kids would have, with the most hilarious pranks. It was so funny!
