A Guy Thing
"I'M GOING FISHING"
Translated: I'm going to drink myself dangerously
stupid, and stand by a
stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim
by in complete safety."
"IT'S A GUY THING"
Translated: "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?"
Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?"
"UH HUH," "SURE, HONEY", OR "YES, DEAR"
Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned
response.
"IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN"
Translated: "I have no idea how it works."
"TAKE A BREAK HONEY, YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD."
Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum
cleaner."
"THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR."
Translated: "Are you still talking?"
"YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS."
Translated: "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."
"I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU, AND GOT YOU THESE
ROSES."
Translated: "The girl selling them on the corner was
a real babe."
"OH, DON'T FUSS - I JUST CUT MYSELF, IT'S NO BIG
DEAL."
Translated: "I have actually severed a limb, but
will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."
"HEY, I'VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I'M DOING."
Translated: "And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon."
"I CAN'T FIND IT."
Translated: "It didn't fall into my outstretched
hands, so I'm completely clueless."
"WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?"
Translated: "What did you catch me at?"
"I HEARD YOU."
Translated: "I haven't the foggiest clue 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 KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE."
Translated: "I am used to the way you yell at me and
realize it could be worse."
"YOU LOOK TERRIFIC."
Translated: "Oh, please don't try on one more
outfit, I'm starving."
I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE."
Translated: "No one will ever see us alive again."
