Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal.
You never have to drive to another petrol station toilet 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.

One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
A five-day holiday 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.

It was one big ashtry next to a giant toilet. _________________ Hart Voice Overs Blog

Thanks for that. Until one sees it written up in a list, we tend to take all those great things for granted. |

Our board presents both sides of topics under discussion.
Banksey says men are happier...
It's Good to Be a Woman
1. We got off the Titanic first.
2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
3. Taxis stop for us.
4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
5. No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the Speedo.
6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.
9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.
11. We can talk to people of the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.
13. We will never regret piercing our ears.
14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Hey, c'mon now - - - when I dance, I assure you I do not look like a frog in a blender.
I do, however, make the frog look downright graceful. |

Speaking of a frog in a blender, have you ever played the frog in the blender game from JoeCartoon.com? I guarantee, it's unforgettable. Not for young children or adults of tender sensibilities:

Jen would absolutely hate the frog blender, she has a strange affinity for frogs, and I have no idea why. _________________ Christopher G. French
