How to Handle a Woman: A Wrong Way

24 June

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and, to paraphrase Sigmund Freud, it’s homosexual bonding time. You’ve got all the guys at your place in front of the TV. Your wife is in the kitchen, and the munchies are running low. Even though you’re A Real Man you’re very, very sensitive to the phrase “what will others think,” so you yell out, “Hey, what are you doing out there? Bring in some more nachos and dip. And don’t forget the beer!” A few minutes later she brings in what you asked for. She doesn’t say a thing to you because all your friends are there and she doesn’t want to make a scene. No, she doesn’t say anything at all, but she does give you a look that would split atoms if you had bothered to notice. Oh, she’s going to blow, make no mistake about it. And, trust me on this, when she does, you’ll say with supremely validated self-pity, “Where the hell did that come from?” [God help your sense.]
