No Wonder Men Are Happier

[hanaeleh]

My mum sent this to me- *sigh*... almost makes me want to be a guy. My favorite is, "You know stuff about tanks."
=====================================

Why ARE Men Happier ?

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple
creatures?

Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a
white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car
mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas
station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to
stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay.

Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000; Tux rental-$100. People
never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.

The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes
don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your
own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are
more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You
are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays
its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your
big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails
with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a
mustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25
minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

Ms. Hanaeleh's callous and unnecessary remarks thinly veiled as a joke has
been deemed as sexual harassment by a substantial portion of the male
audience of the Anime-Beta board. Her malicious actions have caused this
message board to be a hostile playplace for most members of the male
gender. In response, a coalition of the offended persons have united in
protest against her libelous writings. The Males Of Beta (after this mentioned
by the abbreviation MOB) have been formed and plan to launch a class
action lawsuit against the offender. The goal is to seek MOB justice and
to teach Ms. Hanaeleh (which btw is believed to be an assumed name that
she uses for her illicit activities instead of her real name) that it is not wise
to mess with the MOB. To this end, the MOB is seeking a settlement of ten
million dollars, a pledge from Ms. Hanaeleh to attend sexual harassment
prevention classes and a pictorial apology from Ms. Hanaeleh in the form of
her holding up an "I'm an insensitive brute! Please forgive me!" sign while
wearing a Digi Charat kigurumi costume.

.....unless you're a girl!!!!!

[hyelakingsfan]

That was pretty funny but not all were true Maybe would have been funnier if i was a girl...

Oh, my husband got a good chuckle out of it:
You can wear a white shirt... (talking to me)
You can wear no shirt!
Hey, you know stuff about tanks! (I was a navy brat)

His favorite, though, was the Christmas shopping thing. I think he did that a few years ago at Wal-Mart just before they closed.

[Cloud]

What do they say? You believe that? Yes he did, didn't he.

[aernath]

They say you're funny, Cloud. Now go play in your room.

[Cloud]

Maybe they were exaggerating a little.

[aernath]

....maybe just a little....
lol

[Elendil]

Ok ok.....now we need a rebuttal in the form of a list of why women are happier.

Ha! When I get an interview directed to my EYES instead of my chest, when my drycleaners doesn't charge me EXTRA because the buttons are on the other side (why on God's green earth do they need to be on the opposite side, anyway?), when high heels go completely out of style, when I'm not expected to buy ten purses to match different outfits (what the hell is up with that, anyway? Doesn't brown or black go with everything?) etc., etc., etc.... then I'll think about wearing your sign.

Thanks hanaeleh for the pick me up. I have not served in the armed forces but do know all kinds of facts about tanks. Proud member of MOB.
