WHY MEN ARE HAPPIER
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. If you cook a meal you expect praise even if it was not edible.
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 ofwhich 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.
The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.
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
actofthoughtfulness. Ifsomeone forgets to invite you, he orshecan
still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs ofshoes 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. Your belly usually hides your
big hips. One wallet and one pair ofshoes
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.
