A MAJORITY OF ONE
I’m glad the wives agreed to this weekend away. They probably think we’re just drinking beer, and telling fart jokes. I love my wife, but…. my ears were tired. The average woman uses twice as many words in a day as a man.
It’s so nice to be out here all by myself with Nature, – uh, and you guys…. Whuh?? Okay! I’ll be quiet. I know how. One time, as a kid, I almost starved. Wouldn’t tell my parents I was hungry. Pass me another beer, willya? I think those beans we had for supper are startin’ to come through.

An insight into female insight – those women know their guys. 😛

You are quite right, *most* women talk far too much. Being one that doesn’t, I find general noise, i.e. relentless talking incredibly irritating, and try and get away from it as much as possible!

When I was younger, I was the typical husband and “ignored” the wife, just letting it wash over me. Now that I am older, when I am reading, I find that I just can’t concentrate on the book.
A blog-challenge asked, “What would you sooner lose – hearing, or sight?” I think I’ll just turn my hearing aids off. No batteries, honey. 😉

If you had beans for supper I understand why the wives went elsewhere for the weekend….

If we’d been at home with the wives, supper would have been steamed salmon and broccoli…. with perhaps, the same results. 😉 😳

Great humour, I like how you have taken on the characteristics of the wife’s and still maintained the stereotype = fart jokes and all.

Anyone who doesn’t believe in evolution should pay attention to people’s actions, attitudes, and inter-relations. Things happen…. tiny bit by bit, and over time. 🙂
