Women ... hmph
 

<font color="blue">MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS...

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE
DAY AND SAID, "HONEY, 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 21-YEAR-OLD GAL. NOW I HAVE A
$500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, A NICE BIG BED AND A 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
21-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
CRISES!

I've been taking an arabic language class, just for giggles, lately. It was rather interesting to find out that the arabic word for "fat" is the same word used for "expensive".

So I guess the next time the wife asks: "Do these jeans make me look fat?" I will simply respond: "Of course not Dear. They make you look expensive!" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Oh, and by the way, they use the same word for "prison" as they use for "wedding ring." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

A female Filipino friend of mine told me that in Tagalog the word for love and expensive are also the same.

Not to hijack a perfectly funny post but that is one of the thing I have been noticing: there are certain words, I guess you would call them root words, that are just about the same in most languages. Sugar is one, in arabic it's sokhar, in spanish azucar etc. Makes you wonder what the orginal root language sounded like before the "Tower of Babel" fell.

Then again, television is televizon in arabic, televisione in spanish, etc. I guess them thar Babelonians had some darn good TV technology back then. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I keep hoping they'll teach us some good swear words! A buddy of mine took the same class. He left me a post-it note on my computer screen at work and told me to "ask my teacher was it says."

No way I'm fallin' for that one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
