God Grant's A Wish

Don D

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, ""Because you have been a good and faithful servant to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want." The lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! it will surely exhaust the earth's supply of several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."

The man thought it for a while and finally said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says 'nothing's wrong', and how I can make a woman truly happy".

The lord thought for a second and replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

How true, how true.

This is funny and even though I have heard this one before I always have the same reaction....

Are we THAT difficult to understand?

Whatever

The questions is not that we are difficult to understand. We aren't. The question is "How smart do you have to be to understand us?" x:D

rad

I don't get whats so hard to understanding us. Just do what we say, don't ask questions with obvious answers, and always say we're beautiful and thin. ;;) And never EVER ask if its "that time" if we're feeling cranky. xx( Just give us chocolate. x:D

Nicole

Well said rad!!!

Really now.. what's so hard about that?

ray a

Are you ladies having fun yet?

rad

What did I say about questions with obvious answers? x;-)

ray a

I'll fax you some chocolate.

rad

Ouch! Thats a good one...

I heard Dr. Laura the other day ask another woman the question, "would you want to be married to us"? Talk about an obvious question with an obvious answer!! And if all it took was chocolate, make it dark chocolate.

Just think, if someone had the answer as to how to understand a woman, that person would be rich beyond their wildest dreams. Am I in enough hot water now??

Whatever

To repeat what Rad said above "What did I say about questions with obvious answers?" ;;)

slogan

Ouch!! I just noticed that this forum is getting dominated with women. Guys, where are you....help!!

Nicole

Hopefully they are all out buying us chocolate x:9

Don D

Give it time. Beagle and Ray will hijack this thread in about 3 or 4 more posts. x:-)

ritaanz

Perhaps, just perhaps, we do not want you to understand us. What fun would that be? And.... don't bother with the chocolate. It would make it so obvious that you are totally lost.

Remember this one from a past thread? God had a sence of humor when she created man.

Don D

And of course we know the reason HE created man first is that HE did not want any advice. x:-)

Beave

Yea, what Don said ... er ... I mean ... I'll be right back with the chocolate. What was that fax number?

Whatever

And when he created woman, he fixed up all the mistakes he had made in creating man. x;-)

The only unanswered question is, "How many lanes do we want in that highway to Hawaii?"

HRinNH

I don't think we're hard to understand...it's hard for people to take the time to try. Time is the best gift we can give others.

marc

I hesitate to chime in, not being a fan of chocolate and also not pretending to understand. I wish I could remember why it is we were supposed to try,...I know there was a reason tho...

Understanding is definitely a two-way street and long-live our differences.

By the way, I vote for the 4 lanes.

Make that 4 lanes to give her room to drive. And remember, it was Eve who first ate the forbidden fruit. If she had just lsitened!!

Careful Slogan, I used to make comments like that.

Parabeagle

What a cool post. It's Men vs. Women here on the ultimate reality show, HR Har-de-Har. Personally, having just completed an investigation in which all the principals I talked to were women, I am judiciously reserving any comment one way or the other because I don't want to be perceived as a chauvenistic clod. I will only say that this would be a great job if it weren't for the employees. x;-)

HRinNH

Wait a minute...Genesis 3 says that Eve was tricked into eating the fruit by the serpent... Adam (who was with her) willingly took the fruit and ate it.

ray a

Eve tricked Adam

HRinNH

Sorry Ray, I think you misunderstood me. It was Eve who was tricked, Adam thought he knew what he was doing and then he tried to get out of it by blaming the woman afterwards! It's all there.

Parabeagle

....aaaand... your point would be... ?

x;-)

HRinNH

I think it's obvious enough. However, I meant no offense.

But, since the thread was beginning to point to Eve I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I guess it was more like 5 cents.

Parabeagle

Oh, none taken. I maintain, however, that since it's physically impossible to understand women that the most logical thing to do is blame them for something they perceive to be a man's fault. x;-)
