Cute. What a gal! Currying favor with the women... now what a concept. I should think they may just become the rage for the 21 century. BTW Princess wear diamonds don't they? Ray

The 5 toughest questions that women ask 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 pensive, 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." "Could we go to Snap Lake next summer and search for a 10 carat chunker for you my love?" This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following: A. Baseball. B. Football. C. How fat you are. D. How much prettier she is than you. E. How I would spend the insurance money if you died. (NOTE: Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by a TV sitcom, where the husband told his wife, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!") Question # 2: Do you love me? The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." "Could we go to Snap Lake next summer and search for a 10 carat chunker for you my love?" Inappropriate responses include: A. I suppose so. B. Would it make you feel better if I said yes? C. That depends on what you mean by love. D. Does it matter? E. Who, me? F. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died. Question # 3: Do I look fat? The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" "Could we go to Snap Lake next summer and search for a 10 carat chunker for you my love?" Among the incorrect answers are: A. Compared to what? B. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin. C. A little extra weight looks good on you. D. I've seen fatter. E. 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!" "Could we go to Snap Lake next summer and search for a 10 carat chunker for you my love?" Incorrect responses include: A. Yes, but you have a better personality. B. Not prettier, but definitely thinner. C. Not as pretty as you when you were her age. D. Define pretty. E. 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, or course, is "lets not talk about that right now." "Could we go to Snap Lake next summer and search for a 10 carat chunker for you my love?" No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines: Woman: Would you get married again? Man: Definitely not! W: Why not, don't you like being married? M: Of course I do. W: Then why wouldn't you remarry? M: Okay, I'd get married again. W: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face) M: Yes, I would. W: Would you live with her in our house? M: Where else would you expect us to live? W: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her? M: That would seem like the proper thing to do. W: Would you let her wear my 10 carat Snap Lake diamond? M: What would you want me to do with it my love? W: And would you let her use my golf clubs? M: Of course not, Dear. She's left-handed. Good Luck
