Time for Serious Research: Are Men Just Happier People?

Maybe these are some of the reasons, huh?

Your last name stays put.
The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Chocolate is just anothersnack.
You can be Prime Minister.
You can never be pregnant.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.
You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life.
One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

Wow! No wonder men are happier!

They probably are. They don't have dozens of jobs to do every single day.

Today, I fixed breakfast, worked on the scrapbook for my daughter, fixed lunch, drove to Bartlesville to do some shopping, cut Bob's hair, fixed dinner, and balanced the checkbook.

You and Rinkly are becoming my "go to" blogs for when I need a lift! Wonderful and oh so true.

These are great. I was going to add something to the one about driving to the next rest room, but it might be a bit much. Let's just say it had someting to do with SHOES. All the women will get it anyway...
