Here you go, something to ponder!! Best, S. The 5 questions most feared by men are: 1. What are you thinking about? 2. Do you love me? 3. Do I look fat? 4. Do you think she is prettier than me? 5. What would you do if I died?
What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e., tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses.
QUESTION #1: WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT? The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been quiet, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following: 1. Baseball. 2. Football. 3. How fat you are. 4. How much prettier she is than you. 5. How I would spend the insurance money if you died.
QUESTION #2: DO YOU LOVE ME? The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include: 1. Oh Yeah, shit loads. 2. Would it make you feel better if I said yes? 3. That depends on what you mean by love. 4. Does it matter? 5. Who? Me?
QUESTION #3: DO I LOOK FAT? The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Among the incorrect answers are: 1. Compared to what? 2. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin. 3. A little extra weight looks good on you. 4. I've seen fatter. 5. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.
QUESTION #4: DO YOU THINK SHE'S PRETTIER THAN ME? Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Incorrect responses include: 1. Yes, but you have a better personality 2. Not prettier, but definitely thinner 3. Not as pretty as you were when you were her age 4. Define pretty 5. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.
QUESTION #5: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I DIED? A definite no-win question. The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Corvette and a boat". No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along these lines:
WOMAN: Would you get married again? MAN: Definitely not! WOMAN: Why not? Don't you like being married? MAN: Of course I do. WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry? MAN: Okay, I'd get married again. WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face) Would you sleep with her in our bed? MAN: Where else would we sleep? WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her? MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do. WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs? MAN: She can't use them; she's left-handed WOMAN: - - - silence - - - MAN: Shit! |
