When clottie first posted this in the lounge I had to reply, so any similarities between these and Mr Helpful's is purely coincidental:
Why it is good to be a man:
1. No menstrual hormones/ pains
2. No pregnancy
3. We piloted the Titanic
4. On average we get paid more
5. We can scare female bosses with mysterious testicular disorders
6. We can sit in a room for five minutes without feeling cold
7. Our sagging areas are easier to cover up
8. The Speedo? Let's discuss that with pop socks and leggings in mind!
9. We can laugh at almost anything - even passing gas!
10. If we forget to shave, we can claim it's "designer" - let's see a woman get away with that!
11. We can get away with adjusting our privates in public
12. We don't spend 6 hours dressing ourselves
13. We can amuse ourselves for hours picturing the opposite sex naked
14. If we marry someone 20 years younger we don't feel self-conscious about it
15. We don't feel the need to cover ourselves with jewellry (well, apart from rappers & pimps)
16. There are times when beer really can solve all our problems
17. We can easily block out a woman prattling on about our faults (normally by engaging in #13)
A wise man and a fool were preparing to travel through a desert. The wise man studied maps of the area, read up on various survival tehniques and familiarised himself with all the local edible flora and fauna.
On the 2nd day of their travels, the wise man said to the fool "You fool! You know nothing of how to survive out here, and without me, you would die within a couple of days."
The fool replied "But you chose to travel with me, so who is the more foolish?"
Everyone's entitled to my opinion.
