How do men walk around with those things?
Seems to me it'd be terribly annoying and inconvenient.

3. No no no, how do you walk around? See, ours is kind of like a built-in
plumb-bob that helps us know which way is up... Without them, your equilibrium should be pretty darned bad... especially being front & top heavy to boot :hi:

Carrying packages is hard work.

Lifting boxes, and all that.

35. I must disagree.
I prefer support, as free swinging leads to unfortunate tangling incidents, and even excessive revelation.

They would get the week off from work, and brag about the bleeding.

21. You are aware, I assume, that is one of the classic lines from ...
"Seinfeld".

It's from the "The Hamptons" and it concerns "shrinkage". Here's part of the script:



George: I was supposed to see her. She wasn't supposed to see me.



Jerry: So what?



George: Well ordinarily I wouldn't mind. But...



Jerry: But...



George: Well I just got back from swimming in the pool. And the water was

cold...



Jerry: Oh... You mean... shrinkage.



George: Yes. Significant shrinkage!



Jerry: So you feel you were short changed.



George: Yes! I mean, if she thinks that's me she's under a complete

misapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me.



Jerry: Well, so what's the difference?



George: What if she discusses it with Jane?



Jerry: Oh, she's not gonna tell Jane.



George: How do you know?



Jerry: Women aren't like us.



George: They're worse! They're much worse than us, they talk about

everything! Couldn't you at least tell her about the shrinkage factor?



Jerry: No, I'm not gonna tell her about your shrinkage. Besides, I think

women know about shrinkage.



George: How do women know about shrinkage? (They see Elaine walking down

the hall) Elaine! Get! (She enters) Do women know about shrinkage?



Elaine: What do you mean, like laundry?



George: No.



Jerry: Like when a man goes swimming... afterwards...



Elaine: It shrinks?



Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!



Elaine: Why does it shrink?



George: It just does.



Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.

Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 02:08 PM by Radio_Lady
:sarcasm:

But I have asked all three husbands that question. They walk around with THREE bulky items between their legs -- and all three have said, "No problem -- we wouldn't know any better!" (Unless they were castrated or submitted to sexual reassignment.)

In any event, my only question would be -- "How comfortable are those boxer shorts?" (My three hubbies ALL wear briefs.)

It's a matter of personal preference, though. Personally I find briefs restrictive. x(

Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 11:41 PM by Radio_Lady
at a time, is all I can handle.

Oops. I'm wrong.

Husband #3 -- who calls himself my "current" husband -- has only 2 1/2.

Explanation: He had mumps when he was a boy. So he has one plum-sized, and one grape-sized.

I've learned to love them, no matter what shape and size they are!

30. You can get used to just about anything...
...just get comfortable clothes and forget about it...well--as much as you can, anyway... Personally, I've never understood how women survive having long hair...and I know, men since 1965 can have long hair if they want, but it's still not the same, and mine has always been short...how do you ladies stand it, the itching and the discomfort and the summer heat with all that hair...?

36. The trick is to not stuff it full of unecessary stuff...
...like ATM reciepts, business cards, phone numbers scribbled on cocktail napkins, etc. I find it best to carry a small credit card holder and to keep my cash in a money clip in my front pocket.

We are talking about wallets, right? :evilgrin:

38. Rule #1 Don't wear biker shorts to class in third grade.
Edited on Thu Sep-14-06 11:18 PM by izzybeans
The teacher may call you to the board during one of "those" moments. Also a lesson for meetings at work. No biker shorts. Period.

Rule #2 Don't wear biker shorts when you are a grown ass man.

Just because...and only...ONLY...whenever you become a worldclass cyclist.

Rule #3 Find a side and stick with it.

Left or right only, the middle just doesn't cut it. Man-toe has gone the way of the centrist. Everyone will just point and laugh, otherwise-unless you are Tom Jones or any other known "stuffer"-than you faux-centrists can have all the man-toe your little "heart" desires. No shifting sides. This only causes confusion and perhaps one of "those" moments.

Rule #4 Scratching self is okay and necessary no matter what mommy says.

She won't understand.

Rule #5 Rule #2 is void whenever and wherever you must run, jump, or move swiftly from side-to-side if and ONLY if other tight fighting under garments are unavailable.

Jumping Jacks especially.

Rule #6 You are not Eddie Van Halen. And that is not funny. I don't care who you are.

"Forget all about that macho shit and learn how to play guitar!" The real one. Not THAT one.
