18. Maintain muscle tone by doing almost nothing.
It's incredible how little a man has to do to develop a sixpack! And you don't see cellulite on teenage men's legs, do you?

19. Yes, it really isn't fair
Even when my dad was 74 years old and in the early stages of Parkinson's disease, he could carry my suitcase more easily than I could.

One of the few Cathy cartoons that I liked had Cathy going off to a spa for two weeks and sweating and starving herself to lose 7 pounds.

She comes back, and Irving says, "So what? I lost 9 pounds."

"How did you do that?"

"I gave up one of my nightly chocolate sundaes."

That's almost true.

About two weeks before it gets warm, he goes into our barn and lifts weights and does a few crunches. Voila, he's buff. V. annoying.

23. Nursing babies would have been really handy...
When our kids were babies my wife and I arranged our work so that one of us was always at home. Sometimes we'd work nights, mostly I did, but when she was away at night and the kids were hungry and only wanted mom... OMG. I would have done almost ANYTHING for functional breasts.

27. You gotta be a serious hacker to pull it off.
Edited on Tue Nov-21-06 09:38 PM by Rabrrrrrr
You can do it in java, but it's much easier to do it as a perl script that you "fool" DU into executing.




I'm so damned funny!















Or, you can just surround the text you want to highlight with (font color=white)text(/font)

Except use brackets for the ().

And it ends up looking like this:

This sentence has one word whited out

But, I totally do not understand how men can stand there at urinals and have a communal pee. I couldn't do that.

51. Ooooh, I disagree!
Men's clothes are made better and don't go out of fashion as quickly as women's clothes. Also, men sizes are much more precise than women's. We don't have the option of a size 36 blouse with a 32 sleeve. It's basically small, medium and large. Same for pants....I spent years wearing men's jeans because women's sizes were always either too short or too big in the hips and bottom.

You can tell this is a big issue for me.... :P

38. Wear dresses when its hot.
As I'm not Scottish I don't get the kilt excuse. Dresses are way comfier than either shorts or pants when its hot.
Sure hairy legs look silly, but comfort is more important.

52. Being a wanderer at heart....
and a bit of a loner, I dearly wish I had the freedom to travel, hike and camp alone without having to be on hyper-alert and ready to defend myself.

I've spent my life feeling deeply, deeply angry about having my freedom limited in that way.

{And, yes, I know men are sometimes victims of violence as well. But, no one can deny that women are much more likely to be assaulted or harassed.)

56. Sometimes, the lower center of gravity would be nice.
Other than that, nothing. I like being a man.

Oh, except for the last couple of days...I had a cyst in my testicle surgically removed on Monday, and I am really hurting...can't do anything without feeling like I've been kicked in the nuts.
