                WHY IT'S GREAT TO BE A GUY

  Phone conversations last 30 seconds
  You know useful stuff about tanks and airplanes
  A 5 day vacation requires only one suitcase
  Bathroom lines are 80% shorter
  You can open all your own jars
  Old friends don't care if you've lost or gained weight
  When clicking thru the channels you don't have to stop on every shot of
someone crying
  You don't have to lug a bag of "necessary" items with you everywhere you go
  You can go to the bathroom alone
  Your last name stays put
  You can leave a hotel room bed unmade
  You can kill your own food
  The garage is all yours
  You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness
  You see the humor in "Terms of Endearment"
  You never have to clean the toilet
  You can be showered and ready in 10 minutes
  Wedding plans take care of themselves
  If someone forgets to invite you to something, they can still be your friend
  Your underwear costs $7.50 for a pack of 3
  None of your co-workers have the power to make you cry
  You don't have to shave below your neck
  You don't have to curl up next to some big, hairy guy every night
  If you're 34 and single, no one notices
  Chocolate is just another snack
  You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger seat
  Flowers fix everything (or duct tape)
  You never have to worry about other's feelings
  Three pair of shoes are more than enough
  You can say anything and not worry about what people think
  You can whip your shirt off on a hot day
  Car mechanics tell you the truth
  You don't give a flip if someone doesn't notice your new haircut
  You can watch a game in silence for hours without your buddy thinking "He
must be mad at me"
  One mood, all the time
  You can admire Clint Eastwood without having to starve yourself to look like
him
  Same work........more pay
  Gray hair and wrinkles add character
  Wedding dress $2000, Tux rental $100 bucks
  You don't care if someone is talking behind your back
  You don't pass on the dessert and then mooch off someone else's
  If you retain water, it is in a canteen
  The remote is yours and yours alone
  You need not pretend you're "freshening up" when you go to the bathroom
  If you don't call your buddy when you said you would, he won't tell your
friends you've changed
  If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you might become
lifelong buddies
  The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected
  If something mechanical didn't work, you can bash it with a hammer and throw
it across the room
  New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet
