Why do men always know best?

Re: Instructions - destructions

Ken
I would have thought wiring was wiring no matter what language it was written for. If it says connect the 2 commons together then the designer obviously thought it was a good idea.

BUT I do agree with your observations re the written word?

This, if I may say so is a very typical attitude. For all my married life I have been EXPECTED to know about things which by experience and training I'm totally clueless about, but I have muddled through.

Should ANYTHING subsequently go wrong it thusly becomes my fault automatically.

I buy my wife a new car and she gives me the radio manual. Why give it to me? I won't be driving the car, but I'm supposed to read it, learn it, programme in radio 4 and classic fm, and then teach her which three buttons she need to know to work it.

There is nothing in your mail about how you plan to re-wire said equipment better, just blasting away at the poor old bugger landed with the job and muddling through as best he can. Why not post a mail explaining how wonderful he was the last time he read the instructions and showed you how your oven works.

----------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that
allows them to stand
closer to the kitchen sink.
----------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say
something smart?
When she starts her sentence with "A man once
told me..."
----------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
----------------------------------------
Why do men break wind more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to
build up the required pressure.
----------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your
wife is yelling at the
front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let
him in.
----------------------------------------
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told.
--------------------------------------
I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first
name was Always.

I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months: I
don't like to interrupt her.

Scientists have discovered a food that
diminishes a woman's sex
drive by 90%. It's called a Wedding Cake.

Marriage is a 3-ring circus: Engagement Ring,
Wedding Ring, Suffering.

Our last fight was my fault: My wife asked me
"What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!"
----------------------------------------
In the beginning, God created the earth and
rested. Then God
created Man and rested. Then God created
Woman. Since then, neither God nor
Man has rested.

Why do men die before their wives? They want
to.
----------------------------------------
A beggar walked up to a well-dressed woman
shopping on Rodeo Drive
and said, "I haven't eaten anything for days."
She looked at him and said, "God, I wish I had
your willpower."
----------------------------------------
Young Son: "Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some
parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he >
marries her?"
Dad: That happens in every country, son.
----------------------------------------
A man inserted an advertisement in the
classified:
Wife Wanted." The next day he received a
hundred letters. They all
said the same thing: "You can have mine."
----------------------------------------
The most effective way to remember your wife's
birthday is to forget it once.

Women will never be equal to men until they can
walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and
still think they are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car radios

Mmmn! Now when it comes to the video, husband and two sons ask me to programme it - similarly with the oven. But I wish someone would show me how to deal with the car radios - I push buttons hopefully, until I find something acceptable (sometimes!).

What she is doing is being kind. By letting you programme the car radio, she has chosen something simple enough for you to do without her help, to boost your obviously very sagging male ego. What we women have to do in the dumbing down stakes just to let you guys feal more manly, you will never know.

dead right
was pleased when SWMBO bought me a digital camera.. Not so, turns out to be the same as hers........ so she doesnt have to read the manual

<hr width=100% size=1>Been there, done that, got the oily T shirt
 
Almost exactly right except...

When yer wimmin have broken the item they also ask yer men if they'll come and fix it for them.

What's more... they always seem to get their way. What could be behind that then?
