The
Banquet Circuit (January 2009)Jokes, stories
and anecdotes you can use to entertain your audience during that all-important
presentation.
Men
Are Just Happier People
What
do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage
is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another
snack. You can be President. 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. No
wonder men are happier.
