FAMILY AND FRIENDS – CAN HE REALLY BE THAT DUMB

Recently I was having a conversation with my cousin in Illinois and I had told her that I get car sick going over winding or hilly roads and I even turned green once when I rode in the motor home facing backwards.  I say once because I am a really quick learner and was sick enough to remember to never to do that again.
In reply she told me this story and I was laughing so hard that I asked if I could pass it along to you. No, I was not laughing at her being sick but at the absolute stupidity of men.

“Yes, I’ve gotten car sick when I was small & they had to let me ride up in the front seat.  When I drive I’m fine because I know when I’m going to turn. But my (male) friend just all of a sudden turns & sometimes it's not where he wanted to turn so he circles the parking lot. (Can you just see it, around and around the parking lot)  By the time he has stopped I'm green & holding my belly. 

One time after I told him that I get car sick easy, he took me over a section of town here where the roads twists & turns a lot & I asked him ‘why did we come this way?’ he said ‘well, I thought it would help you get over car sickness!’  I said ‘It makes me sick, not helps me, IT MAKES ME SICK!’ 

I finally asked him if I could drive when we went anywhere. He did for a time or two and then back to his old ways. He is 78 so there is no changing him.

Oh where, oh where have all the good men gone?.I think at our age we are better off just doing what we like & not bother with men.”

I absolutely love this and my answer to her was “What good men!”  I’ve never met one and didn’t know that they existed.  Then I gave her my favorite quote:  “Women are from Venus, men are from stupid”.

Wishing you Joy and Laughter Everyday!
