Annoyed!

Due to seriously irritating factors way beyond my control, or maybe within my control, I don't know at this point, today's regularly scheduled multi-blog post is postponed until next week.

Instead, I leave you with this nugget from 2000.

In an attempt to help women better understand the men that they are with:

1} I'm going fishing

Translated: I'm going to drink myself dangerously stupid, and sit in a boat with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety.

2} It's a guy thing

Translated: There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical.

3} Can I help with dinner?

Translated: Why isn't it already on the table?

4} Uh-huh, sure honey or alternately yes dear

Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditional response.

5} It would take too long to explain

Translated: I have no idea how it works.

6} I was listening to you. It's just that I have things on my mind

Translated: I was wondering if that red head over there is wearing a bra.

7} Take a break honey, you're working too hard

Translated: I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner.

8} That's interesting dear

Translated: Are you still talking?

9} You know how bad my memory is

Translated: I remember the theme song to F Troop, the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the vehicle identification numbers of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday.

10} I was just thinking about you, and got you these roses

Translated: The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe.

11} Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal

Translated: I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt.

12} Hey, I got my reasons for what I'm doing

Translated: And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon.
