Why do women ask impossible questions?

[armedindy]

if a woman is speaking in the woods and theres no man around to hear her...is she still wrong?

 

[hoosierdoc]

Ahh... women.... the cause of (and solution to) so many of life's problems

Another one: our local tire place does rotate and balance for free. All that's required is for one of us to go and sit in the waiting room for an hour. But for some reason, I am the only one who can possibly do this... even though they have chairs and a TV, which she is far more skilled at using. (Perhaps I need the practice?)

Here's me attempting to pull the thread back to bemusement and away from misogyny...

The fact is, even with all the complaining, confusion, and consternation, I'd rather have a woman than not. They're baffling [strike]sometimes[/strike] [strike]most[/strike] all of the time, but there are benefits to having one around.

She calls me into the bedroom last night, after receiving a bunch of packages from UPS yesterday.

"Do these shoes look OK?" She poses her left foot forward, then her right.

"They look fine."

"Which one looks better?"

I look. "Are you being serious right now? They're the same shoe."

"No, this one has stitching around the side, and this one doesn't."

I squint. "They're both black shoes, there's nothing wrong with my eyes, there's only about 6 feet from my eyes to those shoes, and from here I can't tell the difference."

"Yeah, but which one looks better?"

I know that situation all too well.

I've learned to just point and say "that one" instead of trying to point out how they're the same shoe/shade of makeup/shirt/ whatever.

I'm doomed if she ever tests me on it though.

It reminds me of Archer and his "dark black" and "slightly darker black" turtlenecks.

I learned to quit answering those questions a long time ago. She'll ask which one I like better and sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, she'll pick the the one I didn't.

Hopefully this helps explain the whole color thing.

It's a good thing I'm not an accountant. I'd probably be doing a cost benefit analysis daily.

Remind me again about those....I seem to be drawing a blank here.

Exactly, just pick one, she likes both, and your input doesn't really matter anyway.

I remember wanting to have her around when dating. After that....hhhhmmm....ummmm....lets seeeeee.....

After 2 kids, I basically have a room-mate the complains a lot, is often angry at various things, and likes to put her cold toes on my legs.

 

[Rob377]

It goes both ways, in fairness.

I tried showing my wife various 1911's. She asks "Why the heck is that one so much?" pointing to custom Ed Brown that I was really, really digging.

I, of course, point out the finely checkered front strap, the perfectly blended beavertail, the countersunk slide stop, the flush target crown barrel/bushing work, etc. She says, "whatever, it looks the same as that one" pointing to a basic Springer loaded.

I remember an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray's mom was talking about being a trophy wife. His dad asked what contest in hell that he won.

I see that your wife doesn't get on here either.

I'll bet JetGirl would know the difference.

"These make my feet hurt!"

Then don't wear them...

"But you're the one that picked them! It's all your fault!"

Yes dear...
