UK TheSpoof! had an interesting headline regarding this controversy:

Sir Patrick Moore Speaks From His Uranus

Formerly intelligent stargazer Sir Patrick Moore has today managed to insult half the population of this little planet by claiming that cookery, housekeeping and kitchen-sink drama should be used as "training videos" for the modern woman.

He also expressed his opinion that separate TV channels for men should be considered, presumably showing porn, drinking, farting and how to attempt basic DIY.

Sir patrick also mentioned that he used to watch Sci-Fi until they became politically correct by employing women in top roles such as commanders.

A BBC spokesman laughed uncomfortably before commenting, "Ha ha ha, what a lovable old rogue!"

Perhaps Sir Patrick is correct, women should stick to lesser roles such as which house to buy, how to rear the children well and how to budget for a household while juggling childcare with a top job, while men should take on the greater decisions in life such as how the country would be run if they were in charge and who should go through to the premiership and why.

Sir Patrick was unavailable for comment today, having assumed that only men would be capable of reading his article.

(of course it's written by a woman)

Phwew, I was starting to think this thread should be split off to open talk given it's serious turn. Fortunately our dedicated and skillful moderator Wayne stepped in to save the day!

I'm waiting for someone to counter with a "man's vocabulary." Something about toilet seats being up and not being interupted during football games...

Uh....I'll get to it right away, dear.
No.
Can you bring me a beer?
Your mother's? Again?
I really was playing foosball at Franks all night. Really.
Ugh.
(excitedly) I've got tickets to...(insert ball sport here)!
I can still walk through the garage. What's the problem?
We saw three deer, but they were too close to shoot.
I had this 200 pound catfish on the line, and then the line broke.

and finally...

No way! I can't miss the Possum Lodge meeting on Red Green tonight!

"I'm a man...and I can change...if I have to...I guess."-- Man's oath.
(often considered a reference to underwear.)

Honey, I lost the toolbox, but I still have the duct tape. We can use that.

Ok now. You've gone to far. Are you mocking the patron saint of men, Red Green. :boxing:


That's just to much. Why don't you go crawl into a hole in the ground. :tonguecheek:

Strider,

I find Red Green amazingly prescient, and full of male wisdom. And hysterically funny, because I think I've dated one of everyone on that show. Including the guy with the septic tank. I married Ranger Gord.

Instead of Pre-Cana conferences, engaged encounter, marriage prep classes, marriage and family college classes, or wise advice on marriage from celibate priests and nuns, I would suggest that all heterosexual couples contemplating marriage be advised to attend a Red Green marathon viewing weekend at a suitable lodge.

There would be fewer marriages, of course, and the ones which do occur would last longer, once the foibles of the plaid-er sex are revealed.

Good idea!

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item she doesn't want.

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful womand is one who can find such a man.

To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and try not to understand her at all.

Marrried men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

Any married man should forget his mistakes - there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Men wake up as good looking as when they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the start of a new argument.

There are 2 times when a man doesn't understand a woman:
Before marriage and After.
