    Sometimes they project their own feelings and insist they know what we're 
    thinking, when actually what they think we're thinking is what they're
    thinking we are/might be/should be thinking, not what we actually are
    thinking.
    
    Or something like that.

    a great deal is made about how little men know about women. i contend
    that women know even less about men. Gentlemyn, consider this:
     
    1. if you sent the little woman out to fetch you some new underwear,
       would she bring back the right style? or the right size?
    
    2. does your woman have to ask you what you would like for Xmas? this
       is lieu of knowing the obvious.
    
    3. does your woman know why you wake up in the morning horny?
    
    4. does your woman participate in your favorite activities.
    
    5. does your woman REALLY know why you hate shopping?
    
    6. does your woman understand why you must have the $600 new gun
       instead of the $400 new gun?
    
    7. does your woman know why you require a night out with the boys
       once or twice a week?
    
    my guess is the answer to all of these is a resounding NO!!!!!!
    
    i rest my case.
182.18PENUTS::DDESMAISONStoo few argsMon Dec 19 1994 15:185
    
>>    my guess is the answer to all of these is a resounding NO!!!!!!

    #1:
    
    I would know the size, cuz I'd peek in an existing pair first. 
    However, I might be tempted to bring home the silk or flannel boxers
    rather than the white cotton briefs, euuuu.
    
    Rest of questions:
    
    No.  Hmm.

	How would Gene's wife possibly answer this? 

     
    1. if you sent the little woman out to fetch you some new underwear,
       would she bring back the right style? or the right size?

		No, as you shouldn't make her go fetch anything. 2 sizes
	too small, and the thong style should help remedy this.
    
    2. does your woman have to ask you what you would like for Xmas? this
       is lieu of knowing the obvious.

		Maybe she is tired of buying just a gun.
    
    3. does your woman know why you wake up in the morning horny?

		Because you're too tired at night to "entertain" her.
    
    4. does your woman participate in your favorite activities.

		Women don't do that to sheep.
    
    5. does your woman REALLY know why you hate shopping?

		Because then if you go shopping yourself, ya can't bitch about
	the stuff she bought.

    6. does your woman understand why you must have the $600 new gun
       instead of the $400 new gun?

		Because you can't compromise.
    
    7. does your woman know why you require a night out with the boys
       once or twice a week?

		To drink beer outside of the house.
    


182.22CONSLT::MCBRIDEaspiring peasantMon Dec 19 1994 15:316
    Umm, Mz Deb, would there be someone in them whilst peeking or would you
    avail yourself to the low arts of drawer espionage and happen to sneak
    a peek at the size while rummaging for letters from old flames?  It's
    an either or question.  :-)
    
    
182.23GMT1::TEEKEMADon&#039;t need no Info Highway.Mon Dec 19 1994 15:348
	That's why I asked if she would buy me a pair, I would
make sure my drawer is empty. %^)




	Sorry Mz Debra, I am getting out of control, slap me please.....

	My hat off to you Mr Binder, You sir have found the perfect wife.



	Where did you get her ????????
182.26POWDML::LAUERHad, and then wasMon Dec 19 1994 15:3810
    
    I'd try to catch a surreptitious glance while divesting said person of
    his utrou 8^), or mebbe if he left them laying on my bedroom floor or
    something like.  I don't do bureau drawer peeking in any circumstances
    cuz I wouldn't want to find anything that might depress me or embarass
    him!
    
    Sorry Teeks, only Raq smaqs.  If you ask her nicely she might oblige.
    
        
182.27CONSLT::MCBRIDEaspiring peasantMon Dec 19 1994 15:472
    utrou?  Is that like micro-trou?  Oh dear, me thinks there is hope for
    those of us that are merely small.
182.28POWDML::LAUERHad, and then wasMon Dec 19 1994 16:032
    
    No no no, "u" as in "under" not that little micro sign thingy.  
182.29HAAG::HAAGRode hard. Put up wet.Mon Dec 19 1994 18:513
    teeks, you dolt!! you DON'T find the perfect woman/wife. you gotta
    train one to accept and understand your own personal quirks. don't
    thank me for this.

    That's more true than you realize.  :-)  The problem is most men don't
    come with training pants.
182.31GMT1::TEEKEMAThe ultimate experiment gone bad !!Tue Dec 20 1994 08:575
	RE .29 	Even I knew that Gene. I have been working on
it for over 11 years now. I was just wondering if there was some
miracle short cut you knew of that I didn't. Being the all wise
man you are %^)
182.32Why must I chase the cat, It's the dog in me.NEMAIL::SCOTTKOooow, I feel goodTue Dec 20 1994 10:2414
    re. 30
    
    Hey, In defense of all men, I would like to show that us guy's are
    trainable.  For a scratch on the tummy, a pat on the head, and a
    "that's good boy".  My lovely wife has taught me how to:
    
    1. Roll over
    
    2. Play dead
    
    3. Bark once for no, and twice for yes
    
   See, it's simple with the right incentive.:-)

My reply to Haag's .17:
         
>    1. if you sent the little woman out to fetch you some new underwear,
>       would she bring back the right style? or the right size?
    
    Nope, 'cause my husband knows better than to "send" me anywhere.  Not
    only would I consider it an imposition (we *both* work for a living),
    but I am not chasing out to buy him underwear until he will go get me
    pantyhose!
    
>    2. does your woman have to ask you what you would like for Xmas? this
>       is lieu of knowing the obvious.
    
    Yup.  Toys and tools, car parts and computer games.  Every year.
    
>    3. does your woman know why you wake up in the morning horny?
    
    Yup.  'Cuz working mom & dad don't have time for it at night! :) 
    Besides, he's like that ALL the time!
    
>    4. does your woman participate in your favorite activities.
    
    Nope.  His fave activities are:  being a couch potato, watching repeats
    of 20 year old Robert Conrad shows, drinkin' beer with the boys, and 
    fixing cars.  On the flipside, he doesn't like or do any of my fave's, 
    either (theater, reading, crochet, dancing, watching ice skating,
    etc.), so I guess we're evenly unmatched.
    
    5. does your woman REALLY know why you hate shopping?
    
    Yup.  'Cuz we never have any money to spend!
    
    6. does your woman understand why you must have the $600 new gun
       instead of the $400 new gun?
    
    Nope.  No guns in my house, or no hubby in my house, period.  Not till
    the kid gets a *lot* older!
    
    7. does your woman know why you require a night out with the boys
       once or twice a week?
    
    Hah!  *He* doesn't want it, *I* make him go, else he is unfit for human
    companionship! :)
    
How come there isn't one of these in the note where men talk about women?
    
    M.

    re -1
    
    if you ever decide that maybe mountain country living is possible give
    me a call. you sound like the type that could be learned how to clean
    and cook fresh stream trouts.

    RE: .34
    
    
    Yup, that's what my wife said too.  No guns, period.  Then I brought
    home the shotgun, then it was the .38, etc, etc, etc.  If she don't
    like it, there's the door.
