Home remedies
You’ll be amazed at how simple these home remedies are.
* Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.
* Avoid arguments with females about lifting the toilet seat — use the sink.
* For high-bloodpressure sufferers: Simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.
* A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
* If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. You won’t dare cough.
* You only need two tools in life — WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape.
* If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.

Fun in the Store
I was sitting out side of the fitting room, doing what every guy does.
That's right wait for eternity for his woman to try on 300 outfits only to purchase
a pair of undies.
I'm on my phone abusing the free wifi in the store to help kill the time.
A woman approaches, walks past me, and looks back to ask "Are you in line?"
I lost internet connection as she approached so I replied "Well I was."
The look on her face was Priceless!
*sometimes being hard of hearing makes for an interesting day*

A Dose of their own Medicine
You know how every advice column ever written about men and women go down the beaten path of the man becoming Mr. Fix it and just fixing the problems that women bring up. Therefore, looking at only the surface issue and not giving the woman the emotional support they are asking for in their silly misdirected manner.
On to the story.......
The phone rang for the 30th time that day. Who knew planning a camping trip could be so difficult?
I set back and watched her answer the phone and immediately knew who it was by the angered look. On the phone was Lilly she was calling again to ask about going to the bathroom while camping. Before that it was about food to bring, clothes to pack, and every other simple thing that most people figure out while they are camping.
Now Jess has taken the time to answer each of these question in painstaking detail, in other words she had went into "Mr. Fix it" mode and listed all the possible options for Lilly on each query. Now, this is the point where every guy can identify, for every question that was solved three more where phrased. I was laughing to myself at this point, seeing this all play out. Just like watching football where the defensive lines are battling it out, moving the ball up the field a few yards only to have it pushed back.
Watching Jess's aggravation increase had turned into pure excitement for me. I find myself wondering how much more of this will she take? Will she realize her flaw in her thinking?
Somewhere after the 40th phone call I could not contain my glee and set her down to get her full attention. I could tell that she was ready to write Lilly off for good as a friend. I simply look at her and tell her to quit trying to solve the problems and give Lilly some reassurance that she won't wipe her with poison oak or get knocked up by Bigfoot.
It was phenomenal to watch Jess's physiologically change. She had one of those light bulb moments and realized exactly what she was doing wrong by trying to solve everything.
Now I filed this conversation away for the next time Jess starts in with the 20 questions, I can say remember that time.......
