No matter how sorry you act or how much you apologize, deep down there's a the biggest sense of achievement knowing that you were the one that blocked that toilet.

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    This is one that I don't agree with, and will never understand. I will stop and ask for directions if I am lost, and I have done this in the past as well. These days I also have a GPS to help out with my poor navigation. I just don't understand the point of being stubborn just to end up wasting gas and time. Not to mention, you usually end up having to stop and ask anyway.

    As for instructions, I usually don't read them initially, but I won't hesitate to read them if I need to.

    You let people touch your woman with permission? How does she feel about it?

    Universal man truths exist only when your woman allows you to have one...

    ok, nearly universal,then. I am pretty much the same as you (at least when it comes to instructions). I think the issue is that - on average* - men would rather do something than plan to do something.

    * remembering, of course:
    all generalizations are false, including this one

    Depends on the woman; depends on the buddy.

    Luckily, I don't have a woman now. Also my car is complete ****, so feel free to touch at will. Really, the two-channel system is the only thing I'm worried about these days.:cool:

    If a man asks a woman "What's wrong?", and she answers "Nothing", he should leave it at that and walk away; he knows it's complete BS, but pursuing it just isn't worth the hassle.

    Same goes for "I'd rather not talk about it."
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I follow the less known:

    Cautiously dip your pen in the company ink.

    Instead of women "cook" it's really women "nest".

    Being an Uncle is like being Batman. You're the guy with the cool gadgets and cool car but it also means that sometimes you have to be the Dark Knight to protect the kids from their parents.

    I would, humbly, add the qualifier that the density should always be pretty much equal to two per possessor thereof.
