Ruminations

Anyone who has ever been in a a car with a woman for more than five miles knows one immutable fact: they have to pee already. They went while getting ready to leave. Right as you held the door open for them, they ran back in to pee once more. Now that you have been driving for ten minutes, they need to pull over and pee again. No doubt, the first thing they will do on arrival is pee again. This leads me to one inescapable conclusion. Cows, deer and other ruminants have four-chambered stomachs. Women, have four-chambered bladders.

True story

Earlier this week my 19 year-old brother was laying in his bedroom trying to take an afternoon nap. He heard the front door open to the apartment. He figured our dad had gotten off work early. He hears the fridge open and close and then he hears someone in the bathroom. Then suddenly he hears this extremely loud pounding. Wondering what the hell my dad is doing my brother jumps up and opens his bedroom door! Only to find a naked woman beating the shit out of my dad's bedroom door (he keeps it locked at all times) The woman…

How is it that women can turn three drawers of delicates into 35 book boxes weighing 70 lbs. a piece? By the way, despite having miraculous rejuvenation properties, Lime Gatorade and Peanut M&Ms do not taste too good together.

When your girlfriend says, "The spiral staircase that we have to carry everything up is really narrow," she speaks the truth. When your girlfriend says, "My television is lot heavier than it looks," believe her. When your girlfriend says, "The room behind the scary little door in the wall is dusty and full of spiders," she isn't exaggerating. When your girlfriend says, "I have a ton of books to move," take that literally. When your girlfriend says, "The traffic from the CNE might interfere," she's understating things.
