It's a Woman World

Questions every married man has to face up to

1. What are you thinking about?
2. Do you love me?
3. Do I look fat in this?
4. Do you think she is prettier than me?
5. What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to 
explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e., tells 
the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below,

along with possible responses.


Question # 1: What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, 
dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, 
intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This 
response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most 
likely is one of the following:


a. Football.
b. Golf.
c. How fat you are.
d. How much prettier she is than you
e. How I would spend the insurance money if you died.


Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once

told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking 
to you!"

Question # 2: Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in 
order, "Yes, dear."

Inappropriate responses include:

a. Oh Yeah, sh@*-loads.
b. Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
c. That depends on what you mean by love.
d. Does it matter?
e. Who, me?

Question # 3: Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Among the incorrect answers are:

a. Compared to what?
b. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
c. A little extra weight looks good on you.
d. I've seen fatter.
e. Sorry what did you say ? I was just thinking about how I would spend the 
insurance money if you died.


Question # 4: Do you think she's prettier than me?
Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Incorrect responses include:

a. Yes, but you have a better personality
b. Not prettier, but definitely thinner
c. Not as pretty as you when you were her age
d. Define pretty
e. Sorry what did you say ? I was just thinking about how I would spend the 
insurance money if you died.


Question # 5: What would you do if I died? A definite no-win question. (The 
real answer, of course, is "Buy a Lotus and a Boat").

No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up

questions, usually along the these lines:

Woman: Would you get married again?
Man: Definitely not!

Woman: Why not - don't you like being married?
Man: Of course I do.

Woman: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
Man: Okay, I'd get married again.

Woman: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)
Man: (makes audible groan)

Woman: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
Man: Where else would we sleep?

Woman: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of 
her?
Man: That would seem like the proper thing to do.

Woman: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
Man: She can't use them; she's left-handed.

Woman: - - - silence - - -
Man: Sheesh!
