Have you ever noticed that men and women seem to speak different languages?
I mean they sound the same, but the worlds have different meanings, for example:
If a woman says, "I would like your help in the yard." the translation is, "I have decided that I am redoing the landscaping in one weekend and I need you to do all the heavy lifting."
If a man says, "I need your help in the yard." the translation is, "I want someone to stand in the shade while I mow and hold my beer."
If a woman says, "We need to spend more time together." it translates as, "We are going shopping and you are carrying all the bags."
If a man says, "We need to spend more time together." it translates as, "None of my fishing/hunting buddies can get off for a weekend trip to the woods."
Then there are other things that pop up. Not dealing with language, but finding alternative uses for various things.
Take a home dishwasher for example. The water hits a good 180 to 200 degrees.
So, put in some good dishsoap, place two heads or an intake manifold inside, turn it on, and BINGO, instant degreaser....
Why women get upset about that I have no idea.
The thing with the bulb on one end that you squirt a turkey with is also very good at getting oil into a hard to reach spot.
And why do women get all bent out of shape when they come home and find you have stored everything to an engine but the block under the bed?
And what is wrong with cleaning a shotgun every time a guy comes over to pick up your daughter on a date?
