the only thing my husband would change is this one:

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 2 Days.

lol

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

2. Learn to work the toilet seat. ((((YEAH))))
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

3. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be. (Unless you are Hot, then we don't mind being distracted).

4. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

5. Crying is blackmail.

6. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

7. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. I do disagree with this one as I am a thorough communicator - don't ya know .

8. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

9. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.

10. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

11. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls,
Don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. (((((YEAH)))))

12. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us. ..... .......

13. If something we said can be interpreted two ways
and one of the ways makes you sad or angry,
we meant the other one.

14. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it,
just do it yourself. ((((Yeah ))))

15. Whenever possible,
Please say whatever you have to say during commercials. (Unless you are HOT)!

16. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions
and neither do we.

17. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color.
Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is. ..... - pretty true....

18. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that. ((((Try to find out WHY it itches ))))

19. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing,"
We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying,
but it is just not worth the hassle.

20. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to,
Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

21. When we have to go somewhere,
absolutely (almost) anything you wear is fine...Really.

22. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless
you are prepared to discuss such topics as
baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf. (Disagree)

23. You have enough clothes.

24. You have too many shoes.

25. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! (Disagree)

26. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that?
It's like camping.
..... .......
