Irving: Men are more efficient! I just cleaned my whole closet in four minutes! Cathy: I though you loved this shirt. Irving: Oh. I do. That one should stay. Cathy: This one's brand-new. Irving: Oops. That should stay, too. Cathy: These just need washing. Irving: Those should all stay. Cathy: You spent four minutes... ...And I'll have to spend an hour going through your box making sure you're not getting rid of the wrong things?! Irving: Like I said, men are more efficient!

Men are more efficient? Please! They can only do one thing at a time.

Oh, yeah….that’s right! Women can drive, talk on their cell phone AND do their makeup all at one time!

AH…but will men stop and ask directions or admit that they’re wrong, Jfri?
Personally, I think Cathy should put Irving in the garage sale, presumably in the “free” box. Would get rid of his parents at the same time!

Ooh, hockey… now that’s complicated (and obviously important since it’s in bold). Try raising children and running a smooth household, while working a full time job.

Definitely women are better at multi-tasking than men are.

Men are always right. Don’t show this to my wife.

Is Irving wearing makeup in the first panel?
Smiley Rmom over 15 years ago
If he wants to do that to his own stuff, fine - as long as he doesn’t go on a shopping spree to replace what he should have kept. Cathy, just don’t let Irving clean YOUR closet.

Let him dump his stuff. Then when he’s running around naked it’ll be his fault. Men mess up because they know women will clean up.

@JFri, ejcapulet is referring to the medical fact that in the womb, men undergo an additional development step coded in the Y chromosome that cuts connections between the left and right hemispheres. This gives men an enhanced ability to focus - at the expense of being aware of a multitude of sensory inputs.
The observation that mothers have “eyes in the back of their head” is based on fact. The ability to complete a task on the battlefield despite the carnage all around comes more naturally to men.

“Women can drive, talk on their cell phone AND do their makeup all at one time”
That sounds like an excellent way to wreck a car. XD I’m a woman, by the way.
