Why Women are to be blame for everything? By Andrew Mueller

It started with Eve and it went downhill from there. It is because women put up with them (those thick, boorish, unfaithful, charm-less, dimwitted, discourteous, unhygienic, ignorant, oafish, thuggish, howling-at the-moon crazy, bullying, obnoxious twerp, stupid, venal, selfish and abusive men). These women are nobly stoic rather that completely retarded and forgiving when they stood by their men despite cruelty, violence and foolishness. These bizarre acquiescence of women is the factor uniting all male transgression against decency and courtesy from the history-altering to the workaday. Examples are Mrs. Stalin and Mrs. Slobodan Milosevic who were positively encouraging their husbands dementias.

A Woman Needs a Man … by Sumiko Tan

I like to quote some of her comments on her Sept 9,2007 article… The life of a woman will be complemented and enhanced by the right male companion. It is a case of finding the right partner. It involves risk and taking a leap of faith in your ability to read people. The caveat is that he isn’t a PRINCE YOU KISSED WHO TURNS OUT TO BE A FROG, but someone who is kind, decent and sweet and who watches out for you.

It is really like having a 24-HOUR BEST FRIEND. Wake up together, go to work together, come home to someone to complain to, have hobbies together, go to sleep together. Ultimately marriage is not about sex, financial security or even kids. It’s about COMPANIONSHIP and having a 24-hour friend who makes life easier most of the time.

Single hood has it many advantages but to be able to share a life with someone who loves you and whom you love, well that’s a happy position to be in.”

For Ladies : )

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding
anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that
because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish.

The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband.

Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.
The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger...

Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!!

Gotta love that fairy!
-----------------------------------------------------------

Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience
for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to
death.
AMEN
