NICKNAMES

If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will call 
each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose.

If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately 
refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.


EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in
$20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything 
smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.


MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't really want (or
needs, for that matter).


BATHROOMS

A man has six items in his bathroom: A toothbrush, shaving cream, a 
razor, a bar of soap, some shampoo, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337.
A man would not be able to identify most of these items.


ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.


FUTURE

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

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


SUCCESS

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.


MARRIAGE

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.


DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the
garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.


NATURAL

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.


OFFSPRING

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about 
dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret 
fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
