I don't want to be predudicial, I really don't. I've allways taken pride in the fact that my husband is in touch with his feminine side (to some degree), as he is sensative, kind and thoughtful. But sometimes, well, he's such a guy! Men, be it by nature or nurture, don't ask for or read instructions. I think it is genetic. Today he recieved a gift from our credit card company, a razor, the Schik Quatro. I guess he was just too excited to read the box before opening, or, is it a guy thing?   You tell me  cookie |

Which end did he open?
To he honest, a real guy thing is a straight edge razor, with a coffee cup full of soap ends. That is men's town.
Which end did he open?

Cookie, I'll tell ya' a little secret I learned from my dad when I was just a wee child. NEVER read the instructions until all else fails!  I wish I had a dollar for everytime I tried to do something or assemble something without looking at the instructions and made a big mess! I'd be a millionaire today! I was helping somebody do something not too long ago - can't rememember exactly what or who I was helping - but I pulled out the instructions and they said, surprised like "You read the instructions?" It was pretty funny! I don't always read the instructions first, but have found over the years it sure makes it easier! So, no, it's not just a guy thing! llana |

Sorry, thought you could tell from the pic. The end that clearlt states "Open Other End". Geez, youre such a guy! My dad used to shave that way, till he started taking meds to stop blod clots. That could be scarey  Llana, maybe I'm a tad anul, but I allways read the instructions, twice. Just a tad, you think? cookie |

i don't much care for instructions either. got a lady epilator some years ago and didn't read the instructions. tested it on my ex-husband (note i said ex lol) without asking permission. there was a hair on his ear and i stuck the thing up there to see if it would remove it. THWAP, THWAP, THWAP was all i heard. i'm making myself cry laughing thinking about this. almost tore the man's ear from his head ;D. read the instructs afterward and it said "do not use on bathing suit area" and believe me i didn't after what i saw with his ear. and those dust busters with the beater bars - not a good thing if you put them in someone's hair. must be good....must be good ;D kim |

I was just trying to be funny, guys. ;D I, too, wondered why the box was so dead set on which end should be used. Finally figured out the business end of the razor was on that end and they didn't want any law suits. But they sent it to guys Yeah, It's kind of a gal thing to be A.R. I suppose. cookie |

Cookie, we need women to keep us from turning our house into men's town. My wife is an example. She had no experience in what we do when we met. We made no bones about it. I would rather have someone with desire and no clue than have to untrain someone to train them. They usually do not last.
At any rate. She has helped me go from pure linear in ethics, people skills, and craft final product. She also is the Devil's advocate when it is neccessary. Sometimes she leads the pack.
It is a guy thing. It is also a woman thing to go off on guy things. It is a guy thing to think women are weaker, even though they really are stronger.
It is a guy thing, and one more item to add to Men's Town. The place where real men go!

Men's Town. That is a secret place real men go to. There is lots of winky winky nudge, nudge. Real men go to Men's Town, do not shower for week, no tooth brushing either, sit around a campfire after eating lots of beans and lighting flames, swapping war stories, high speed chases, magical hunting trips, and definately big block chevys. On the way home after recovering from the massive war story swaps over lots of Wild Turkey, and peyote, with blowing lunch lots and dribbling on their shirts, they bid fair ado.
On the way home they stop at the local supermarket and get some fresh salmon. Even if it doesn't grow there. The rush home after spreading salmon over their clothes and hug the wife and kids. They speak of great adventures, wild fishing battles, wild inclement weather that cannot be verified or substantiated. Of great rescues of fair damsels, of course without indulging in the gratitude fruits or compromising the sanctity of the marriage.
They tell their wives to get ready to welcome the beast when the sun goes down.
Men's Town. Where men are men, women are ugly, and sheep run scared!!!! Men's town where every man can be an hero or supernatural giant and dominate the world. Men's Town, where the answers are easy and make sense. Sometimes even the next morning.
Men's Town, it is a guy thing. A lot of aaargh, aaaargh, aaaargh is heard at random intervals also.
The tool guy was born in Men's Town. Its location is a secret. Women are not allowed. No children either. Only 16 and up. Toilet paper is optional.
