Food Joke

For all you Sadies out there, an explanation to help you understand ‘man-speak’ [My thanks to Stan C for the following] IT`S A GUY THING: There’s no rational thought pattern connected with this and you have no chance at all of making it logical. CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?: What he really wanted to say was, "Why isn`t dinner already on the table?" UH HUH; SURE, HONEY; OR YES, DEAR: This is a conditioned response and means absolutely nothing. IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN: This is another way of saying, "I have no idea how it works." I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT`S JUST THAT I’VE THINGS ON MY MIND: What this really means is, "I wasn’t listening to you because I was wondering if that blond over there was wearing a bra." TAKE A BREAK DARLING, YOU’RE WORKING TOO HARD: What he really wanted to say was, "I can`t hear the football match on the TV. Please turn off the vacuum cleaner." THAT`S INTERESTING, DEAR: This is another way of saying, "Are you still talking?" YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS: This means, "I remember all the words to `My Way`; the name of the first girl I kissed; and the registration numbers of every car I`ve owned - but I forgot your birthday." I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU SO I GOT YOU THESE FLOWERS: This really means, "The girl selling flowers on the corner was a real beauty, so I bought some from her." HEY, I`VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I`M DOING: But what he didn’t add was, "And I sure hope I think of some pretty good reasons soon.” WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?: What he really wanted to say was, "What did you catch me at this time?" I HEARD YOU: What this means is, "I haven`t the foggiest clue what you just said and I’m hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don`t spend the next 3 days yelling at me. YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE: This really means, "I’m used to the way you shout at me, and I realise it could be worse." YOU LOOK TERRIFIC: What he really wanted to say was, "Please don`t try on one more outfit, I`m absolutely starving."
