23 Adult Truths

                                                 

1 Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind-of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Light than Kay.

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

23. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

A Man's Midlife Crisis


AFTER  BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A

CAREFUL  LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE  DAY  AND SAID,

"Darling, 44 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT,

A CHEAP  CAR,  SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED

A 10-INCH BLACK  AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT  TO SLEEP

EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD  GIRL.  

NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR,

NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING

WITH A 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.  IT SEEMS TO ME THAT

YOU'RE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."



MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN.  SHE TOLD

ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL,

AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE

AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING

A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING

A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE  TV.



AREN'T OLDER WOMEN GREAT? THEY REALLY KNOW

HOW TO SOLVE YOUR MID-LIFE CRISIS.

Ma'am Versus Ms.


I grew up in the Midwest, where the polite way of addressing an adult female is 'ma'am.' Is there any female out there who likes to be called ma'am? No one I know. So when I moved to the south where most women are addressed as Ms.Insert First Name. I took to it like a misguided homing pigeon. To me its a much warmer form of address than ma'am.  When talking to other women and friends I almost always address them as Ms. Whomever. A couple of weeks ago, I was told by two different women that they hated being addressed as Ms.......fill in the blank. It makes them feel a hundred years old. Really? Ma'am makes me feel a hundred. I wonder if its a regional thing. What polite form of address do you hate?
