Couple of old jokes seem appropriate…kid asks his dad if there are rules for getting along with women. Yes, there are. Rule number one, whatever she says, you so it, you never discuss,,you NEVER argue. Wow. And rule number two? There are no other rules…How to get the last word with your wife? “Yes, Dear.”
Another stereotype shattered. . .DO some/many/most guys carry about interior decoration? I thought that toilet paper (over/under) and toothpaste tubes (middle squeeze/not middle squeeze) were it. . .is this change being noted on the evolutionary charts?!? ;)
My place: frumpy-looking but awesomely comfortable furniture; several bookshelves packed two deep; 67 inch television; swords (real, not stainless steel wallhangers) hanging on the walls. Not a flower in sight.
In order to have a happy life, a married man must master the art of discussing such issues with his spouse. After many years of practice, I have amassed the full list of vocabulary words that are important in this endeavor. Herewith, for your delectation:
1: “Yes” (you may also use “of course” or very occasionally “Mmhm”)
2: “Dear” (any other pet name that she likes will also work)

No one cared for my opinions. They were always wrong anyway.

I think Ed’s in with a chance here. If anything will leave her speechless it would have to be the moose head lampshade.

Adam lost this argument to Eve and so will you. History dictates it.

Women are born with the innate knowledge that men are always wrong. Saves time.

Trouble in most houses is that the man has the chair and the woman has the whip.

“If a man is talking while walking through the woods, and no one is around to hear him… is he STILL wrong?”

As my wife continues to remind me … life goes smoothly, so long as you agree with what she says.

Remember the “Major Award” net-stockinged leg lamp from A Christmas Story? That’s why nobody ever let Darren McGavin do home decoration.

My whole house is a “man cave” but I don’t care about decorative stuff. So, no paintings or vases, but no moose heads or beer signs either.

Men tend to be functionalists (it’s a lamp, we need some light!).
Women tend to be estheticians (everything must be perfect, just in case the Queen drops by).
