Tinkerman's tags:
A 5 day vacation requires only one suitcase
Bathroom lines are 80% shorter
We can open all our own jars
Phone conversations last 30 seconds
We know useful stuff about tanks and airplanes
Old friends don’t care if we’ve lost or gained weight
When surfing channels, we don’t have to stop on every shot of someone crying
Our last name stays put.
We can leave a hotel room bed unmade.
We can kill our own food.
The garage is all ours.
We get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
We see the humor in “Terms of Endearment”.
We never have to clean the toilet.
We can be showered and be ready in 10 minutes.
If someone forgets to invite us to something, they can still be our friend.
Our underwear costs $6.50 for a pack of 3.
None of our co-workers have the power to make us cry.
We don’t have to shave below our neck.
If we’re 34 and single, no one notices.
Chocolate is just another snack.
Where and when we pee doesn’t effect our emotional well-being.
We can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger seat.
Flowers & duct tape - and we can fix everything.
We never have to worry about other’s feelings.
Three pair of shoes are more than enough.
We can say anything and not worry about what people think.
We can whip our shirt off on a hot day.
Car mechanics tell us the truth.
We don’t give a flip if someone doesn’t notice our new haircut.
We can watch a game in silence for hours without our buddy thinking “He must be mad at me.”
One mood, all the time.
We can admire Clint Eastwood without having to starve ourselves to look like him.
Same work. More pay.
Gray hair and wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress; $2000, Tux rental; 100 bucks.
We don’t care if someone is talking behind our back.
We don’t pass on the dessert and then mooch off someone else’s.
If we retain water, it is in a canteen.
The remote is all ours.
We need not pretend we’re “freshening up” to use the bathroom.
We can go to the bathroom alone.
If we don’t call our buddy when we said we would, he won’t tell our friends I’ve changed.
If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, we might become lifelong buddies.
The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.
If something mechanical didn’t work, we can bash it with a hammer and throw it across the room.
New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle our feet.

    I was going to post the lyrics to Monty Python's "Penis Song" but I decided not too. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader...

    The great prophet Monty Python (praise be upon his name) spake:

    (Spoken):
    Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen.
    Here's a little number I tossed off recently in the Caribbean.

    Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
    Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
    It's swell to have a stiffy
    It's divine to own a dick
    From the tiniest little tadger
    To the world's biggest prick
    So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas
    Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake
    Your piece of pork
    Your wife's best friend
    Your Percy or your cock
    You can wrap it up in ribbons
    You can slip it in your sock
    But don't take it out in public
    Or they will stick you in the dock
    And you won't a-come a-back

    (Spoken): Oh, thank you very much


    Heh. I wasn't sure if it would be appreciated.

    Monty Python is awesome (yes, I know it's the name of the troupe and not of a single individual).
  • Tinkerman said on Apr 12, 2007....
    TS, it is surely appreciated over here!
     
    Now i'm not sure if i should tag this post with 'sexual contents'!

    that was laugh-out-loud hilarious!!!

    thanks--i needed that!!

  • uniquely-ironic said on Apr 12, 2007....
    So true, tho now I worry about the fact that it take the BF 1/2 hour minimum to get out the door.
     
    I once bought a roll of duct tape for a male coworkers birthday.  I think I saw tears in his eyes.
  • CreativeWoman said on Apr 12, 2007....
    There is a lot of truth to that.  I guess that is what makes it so funny. :-)

    "one mood.all the time" - this is driving me crazy!

  • LMari said on Apr 13, 2007....
    TINKERBELL i see no one had a sequel, so guess it has to be me:
     
    we dont have to beg for sex
     
    we never have to fix anything, (thats what men are for).
     
    we can look good in your clothes
     
    if we cut ourselves shaving, no biggie.
     
    if we get horny - we dont have to hide.
     
    we dont pay for our drinks
     
    we never get in the dog box, so we dont have to kiss your ass.
     
    we can bleed for 7 days and live .
     
    we can get almost anything we want with a good bra.
     
    we dont have to go to the army.
     
    we got off the titanic first. 
     
    Alimony
     
    we can wear anything we want without asking ' does this look gay?'
     
    we dont have to give up our seat to a woman.
     
    if we're cold, you're obliged to give us your jacket. (damned if you dont)
     
    we dont have to buy you a diamond ring
     
    we can be in touch with ourselves emotionally, without feeling gay.
     
    we use all the hot water.
     
    we dont have to carry anything heavy or touch anything dirty if men are around.
     
    we cant get raped in jail.
     
    we always smell good.
     
    if we burp its cute.
     
    we can talk our way out of a traffic ticket (see bra example above)
     
    we dont have to face your father in fear.
     
     
    in short, we rule. and but we let you think you do. I must admit though, it must be cool standing and peeing. also you can mess your hair up with peroxide, and just shave it off the next day. ok, i wont give away any more things you left out, that would be betraying the entire female species.. but you get the picture.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and I'm sure glad this post brought a smile or two to you.

    My last words are reserved for LMari;

    I am Tinkerman and not TINKERBELL, I can't bleed for 7 days and still live.  Nevertheless, thanks for the sequel and my favourite is "if we burp it's cute"

  • LMari said on Apr 17, 2007....

I am drowning my sorrows in a bowl full of kid's cereal - Cookie Crisp, dinner of champions. I could have easily made a case for eating cookies for dinner, but at least this way I can pretend to have eaten real food.
