It's a GUY thing

Really means: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it,
and you have no chance at all of making it logical."

"Can I help with dinner?"
Really means: "Why isn't it already on the table?"

"Uh huh," "Sure, honey," or "Yes, dear."
Really means: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.

"It would take too long to explain."
Really means: "I have no idea how it works."

"I'm getting more exercise lately."
Really means: "The batteries in the remote are dead."

"We're going to be late."
Really means: "Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac."

"Take a break, honey, you're working too hard."
Really means: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

"That's interesting, dear."
Really means: "Are you still talking?"

"Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love."
Really means: "I forgot our anniversary again."

"You expect too much of me."
Really means: "You want me to stay awake."

"That's women's work."
Really means: "It's difficult, dirty, and thankless."

"You know how bad my memory is."
Really means: "I remember the theme song to 'F Troop', the address of the first girl I ever kissed and the Vehicle Identification Numbers of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday."

"Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal."
Really means: "I have severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit I'm hurt."

"I do help around the house."
Really means: "I once put a dirty towel in the laundry basket."

"Hey, I've got my reasons for what I'm doing."
Really means: "I sure hope I think of some reasons pretty soon."

"I can't find it."
Really means: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

"What did I do this time?"
Really means: "What did you catch me doing?"

"I heard you."
Really means: "I have no idea what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next 3 days yelling at me."

"You look terrific."
Really means: "Oh, please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving."

"I missed you."
Really means: "I can't find my sock drawer, the kids are hungry and we are out of toilet paper."

"I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are."
Really means: "I'm lost. I have no idea where we are, and no one will ever see us alive again."

"We share the housework."
Really means: "I make the messes, you clean them up."

"This relationship is getting too serious."
Really means: "You're cutting into the time I spend with my truck."

"I don't need to read the instructions."
Really means: "I am perfectly capable of screwing it up without printed help."

Pretty.....good.

Hmm seems u r in a mood of Men bashing today

"I expect to pass through this life but once.

Therefore, if there be any kindness I can show,

or any good thing I can do for another human being,

let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again
