Jokes

A male coworker sent me these jokes because occasionally I will complain about my husband or my son and their very male sensibilities. Perhaps you've seen these:

W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

THE SILENT TREATMENT
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM ." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM . Wake up." Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

I forwarded these to my sister and she told me about an incident that happened to her earlier in the week. I like her story best:


Good one, and how timely.
Yesterday I was looking out my back window when I got home from work and to my horror noticed that Mike had cut to the ground the four daylilies that I had planted in the back corners. Was I ever upset! He said he thought they were the old daffodil stalks. I can’t comprehend him making that kind of mistake especially since they were about to bloom. But of course he is a "man". I made him go with me to Home Depot and pick out four more. I thought if he took active participation in picking out and buying he would not make the same mistake next year.
This week is very slow for Mike at work so he is roaming the yard looking for things to do. I wonder what trouble he will get in to today.
