Here’s me being simplistic (Or my analogy)
I’ve been mulling over my life, and trying to figure out women (which I may never do).
So I present the analogy of If men and women were appliances.
Men: Men are like the Fridge you might buy at SAMS. It’s a nice looking fridge, all stainless steel. You get a box that’s the same size as the floor model you saw. Once the fridge is at home you plug it in. You have to put the shelves in, and put the food in, and it works.
Women: Women are like the BBQ sets you see at SAMS.
You look at it, and think “That’s a nice looking BBQ set”. You get taken to a box, but aren’t allowed to look in it.
You get home, open the box, and it’s in a hundred little pieces.
The manual is only written in Korean.
And there are no pictures of where to put what piece to what piece.
You finally get it put together, there are 2 bolts left over.
And there is a equal chance of when you try to light it up of getting a nice warm fire, or having it explode and killing everyone in a one block radius.
Now before anyone gets angry at me, I like girls, I am just trying to say I get confused by ya’ll, is all.
That is hilarious, I love it.
Thanks Susannah 😉
But you do love your BBQ set even when it is unpredictable. Thats what makes life interesting.
Lesson #1: Can you really lump a little more than half the worlds population together and say, I want to understand billions of people?
I like your comment sherpa.
Chris, I have to make a silly comment here because we have already had the in depth conversation on your bbq set theory (of which I gave it the simplistic title).
Okay, men… It is important to learn how to read and follow the directions no matter what language they are in (if you are interested), and it is even more important to pay attention to where those two bolts go! =)
The two bolts are ALWAYS left over. There’s nothing you can do with them. It’s the “Oh… you forgot it’s our anniversery bolt” – you screw up and break one? Ya got a spare! But what do men do with the spares? We throw them away :).
Annnnd of course because I can’t sign off without sarcasim – compairing women to BBQ is proof that women should cook more often *hides* 🙂
Dad: I suppose.
Sherpa: But of course.
Jill: Those instructions were not written in Korean. They were written in Chicken scratch. Chicken Scratch that is different for every BBQ set sold
Justin: Yeah, your own your own here buddy 😉
Men: Cool and consistent. Give us a hamburger patty walk away for days and we’ll keep it cool, and maintain it at a consistent temperature without problems.
Women: Potentially hot and unpredictable. Give them a hamburger patty, and you’ll get a perfectly cooked burger (well done of course), a bloody mess (rare), a black piece of carbon (burnt), or a ticking time bomb (raw and laced with E. Coli). Or some form in-between any of these.
And this of course is only the outcome; it has nothing to do with the process.
Men: Put your hands near us, and it’s a nice 35 degrees every time (give or take a few degrees).
Women: Better put on the oven mitts. You might get room temperature, a nice warm heat, or the towering inferno. Small flames, large flames, white smoke, black smoke, or any combination of these. The kicker is that it can go from cold to warm to hot in an instant and then cool off again in seconds. Gotta love it! Drives us crazy!
As for you two left over bolts. They aren’t leftovers; they are part of the manufacturer’s specs. You see, there are about 8.3 billion ways to put that grill together. Today, you won’t need those bolts because you have it assembled “correctly”. Tomorrow, you will realize, or be “informed” anyway, that you really didn’t get it right the first time. Hence you will need to take it all apart and start over; this time using those two bolts. Of course that will leave you with 3 extra screws and an extra wheel. Not to worry. Next week, you will be using those when you take it apart again, which will result in some other left over parts. The cycle will continue until you have exhausted all 8.3 billion ways of assembly and then it will repeat, but in random order. The directions were not in Korean, they were in Venusian, for which there is no Rosetta Stone. There never will be either…
This is why we love ‘em and why they drive us crazy.
Happy grilling!!!
Brendo,
I like your comments..
But does Leigh know you left them here?
I know she finished the Da Vinci Code before you, but still…. 😉
Did I say something wrong? I thought it was pretty funny. Hopefully it doesn’t come off as sexist or anything. You know how cyberbabble can be misinterpolated. I don’t know if she has seen it or not, but I doubt she would be surprised at what I said. She might even laugh. That, or request that you take it down, I suppose. I guess that will depend on if my grill is setup properly today or not…
As for Da Vinci, I might have to retaliate by watching an episode of 24 without her…..tempting….
“You get taken to a box, but aren’t allowed to look in it.”
Oh, how this line made me laugh.
