Important Wedding Information

Posted on by


  • Announcement:
    It is the responsibility of the bride’s family to announce the wedding in the local newspaper. The announcement should include: A photograph of the bride (A high school
    yearbook picture is acceptable); Name of the groom, education completed by both bride and groom (DO NOT include elementary school, unless that was the terminal degree.); current employment and planned residence after the ceremony (If living with the brides parents, it is NOT necessary to specify where in the house you will reside).

  • Invitations:
    Since you are having a planned wedding and you are expecting a lot of free stuff, you MUST send out invitations! They do not have to be lengthy. Something like “You are invited to watch so-and so and so-and-so make it legal on ______” will suffice nicely. If you don’t want to be so formal you can always run down to the local bar and yell “If you ain’t doing nothin’ on _____ why don’t you stop by my house for a cold one about 2 o’clock. Me and the Missus-to-be are having some friends over to watch the ball game and witness our wedding.”

  • Proper Attire:
    For the bride, the key words are “be conservative.” No matter how good it may look, refrain from wedding outfits made with spandex or adorned with fringe. Excessive slits and dips also are frowned upon. This is NOT the occasion to show the world how big “THEY” are.

    For the groom, a rented tuxedo is haute couture, but if it means the difference between going on a honeymoon and staying home, consider some alternatives. For example, a leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean work shirt can create a natty appearance. And though possibly uncomfortable, say yes to socks and shoes for this special occasion.

  • The Ceremony:
    No matter how urgent the event, loaded weapons have no place at the altar. At the point in the ceremony that says, “If anybody has any reason why these two should no be joined in holy matrimony…” tell the preacher not to pause too long, old flames sometimes die hard and talk too much. As the ceremony is concluded, you and and your new spouse should realize that a short kiss will do. This is neither the time nor the place to demonstrate your sexual expertise to the world. That’s why the video camera was invented.

  • Reception:
    Remember to reserve the UAW hall far in advance, and avoid Saturdays, since that’s bingo night. It is perfectly acceptable to ask guests to wipe their feet before entering the hall. After all the cleaning deposit can be the difference between an oil change and a full tune-up for the car. When dancing never remove undergarments, no matter how hot it is!!

  • Common Wedding Questions and Answers:
    Q: Is it all right to bring a date to the wedding?
    A: NOT if you are the groom.

    Q: How many showers is the bride supposed to have?
    A: At least one within a week of the wedding.

    Q: What music is recommended for the wedding ceremony?
    A: Anything except “Tied to the Whipping Post”.

Ways to Drive the Man in Your Life Crazy

Posted on by


  • Take the batteries out of all the remotes in the house. (Hide them well.)

  • Organize his workshop, bedroom, or other special place.
  • Bribe his faithful dog away from him with a steady diet of Ring Dings.
  • Shrink his underwear in the dryer and when he complains, innocently suggest that he’s gained a few pounds.
  • Stare at his forehead and when he notices, casually ask if there is any history of male pattern baldness on his mother’s side.
  • “Accidentally” fill the gas tank of his new Porsche with diesel.
  • Repeatedly misplace the cordless phone, preferably in a different room each time.
  • Repeatedly lose his cellular phone in restaurants around town.
  • Loan his precious cellular phone to a pregnant girlfriend who “needs it more than he does.”
  • Insist upon a lot of “meaningful conversations.”
  • If you live together, have your mother fly in for a month-long visit unannounced.
  • Reverse his contact lenses in their case.
  • Snip a small hole in his fishing waders, then follow him with a camera to capture his “sinking” on film.
  • Superglue the pages of his Little Black Book together.
  • Give the secret stash of dirty magazines that he thinks you don’t know about to his younger brother, who he hates.
  • Put a gummy worm in his workboots. If he finds the sticky mess at the end of the day, blame it on the cat.
  • Slip outside while he is engrossed in his sports and let the air out of one tire. Repeat, never deflating the same tire twice in a row. Try hard not to snicker when he takes the car in for new tires.
  • If you really feel adventurous, put a small rock in his hubcap. Stand back and watch the fun. This one is even better if you have kids in the neighborhood to take the blame.
  • Along the same lines, remove his gas cap.

Rita Rudner’s 50 Facts About Men

  • Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.

  • Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They’ve experienced
    pain and bought jewelry.

  • If you buy your husband or boyfriend a video camera, for the first few weeks he has it, lock the door when you go to the bathroom. Most of my husband’s early films end with a scream and a flush.
  • Be careful of men who are bald and rich; the arrogance of “rich” usually cancels out the nice of “bald.”
  • Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
  • Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they’re really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
  • If it’s attention you want, don’t get involved with a man during play-off season.
  • Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.
  • Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches.
  • All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals.
  • The way a man looks at himself in a mirror will tell you if he can ever care about anyone else.
  • Don’t try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know.
  • Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps.
  • All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow, instead of a gun.
  • A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.
  • Men love watches with multiple functions. My husband has one that is a combination address book, telescope and piano.
  • All men hate to hear “We need to talk about our relationship.” These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwarzkopf.
  • Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.
  • Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough to get a bikini wax.
  • All men think that they’re nice guys. Some of them are not. Contact me for a list of names.
  • Men don’t get cellulite. God might just be a man.

  • Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing
    and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.

  • Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.
  • Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I’ve never seen a man walk into a party and say “Oh, my God, I’m so embarrassed; get me out of here. There’s another man wearing a black tuxedo.”
  • Most men hate to shop. That’s why the men’s department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.
  • If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of lettuce, he is serious.
  • If you’re dating a man who you think might be “Mr. Right,” if he

    a) got older,
    b) got a new job, or
    c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise.

  • The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.

  • When four or more men get together, they talk about sports. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
  • Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.
  • Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
  • Most women are introspective: “Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?” Most men are outrospective: “Did my team win? How’s my car?”
  • If a man says, “I’ll call you,” and he doesn’t, he didn’t forget… he didn’t lose your number…he didn’t die. He just didn’t want to call you.
  • Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him, “Are we going to have sex again?” He said, “Yes, but not with each other.”
  • Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do it out of sight of women.
  • Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. “Get out” and “I never want to see you again” might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, “I love you…I want to marry you…I want to have your children.” Sometimes they leave skid marks.
  • Men accept compliments much better than women do. Example: “Mitch, you look great.” Mitch: “Thanks.” On the other side: “Ruth, you look great.” Ruth: “I do? Must be the lighting.”
  • Impulse buying is not macho. Men rarely call the Home Shopping Network.
  • Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.
  • Only men who have worn a ski suit understand how complicated it is for a woman to go to the bathroom when she’s wearing a jumpsuit.
  • Men don’t feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do because their clothes all button and zip in the front. Women’s dresses usually button and zip in the back. We need men emotionally and sexually, but we also need men to help us get dressed.
  • Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheros. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
  • When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight. When a man tries on clothing from his closet that feels tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.

  • Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause
    you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause – you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.

  • Men forget everything; women remember everything.
  • That’s why men need instant replays in sports. They’ve already forgotten what happened.
  • Men would like monogamy better if it sounded less like monotony.
  • All men would still really like to own a train set.

Comebacks to Pick-up Lines

Posted on by

  • Man: “Haven’t we met before?”
    Woman: “Yes, I’m the receptionist at the V.D. Clinic.”

  • Man: “So, wanna go back to my place?”
    Woman: “Well, I don’t know. Will two people fit under a rock?”

  • The most memorable rebuttal to a turn down (used by the guy who used to live
    across the hall from me in residence) when he asked girl to dance and she refused:
    Man: “Want to dance?”
    Woman: “No, thank you.”
    Man: “Don’t thank me, thank God somebody asked you.”

  • Man: “I’d like to call you. What’s your number?”
    Woman: “It’s in the phone book.”
    Man: “But I don’t know your name.”
    Woman: “That’s in the phone book too.”

  • Man: “So what do you do for a living?”
    Woman: “Female impersonator.”

  • And here’s one including the correct snappy return.
    Man: “How do you like your eggs in the morning?”
    Woman: “Unfertilized.”

  • A girlfriend of mine once had a graying man in his 60’s approach her in a club
    while she was in college with the line, “Where have you been all my life?” She took one glance at him and said, “For the first half of it, I probably
    wasn’t born yet.”

  • A friend of mine came up with a very quick response over vacation. We were
    walking down the street and I glanced at a girl who had just walked by. She turned around and said to me, “What are you looking at?” My friend, walking next to me came to the rescue, “He thought you were good looking, but he was mistaken.”

On Men

Posted on by

  • Why are men such jerks?
    It’s a testosterone thing. Much similar to your PMS thing, we men suffer from testosterone poisoning. Why do you think the average life span of a male is typically 10 years shorter? Hormone modifies behavior. We’re just misunderstood.

  • Why do men always have to ogle at other women?
    Again, this is a testosterone thing. Do you honestly think that all the testosterone just fell out of our bodies the moment we met you? Besides, women do it as well. Women are just much better at not getting caught.

  • Why do men always touch themselves, especially in public?
    We occasionally need to adjust our little friend and make him happy. It’s much like adjusting your bra. Being in public is just an added bonus.

  • Why do men always say such stupid things?
    We like to. It’s actually a whole lot of fun to see our partner frustrated by a few simple (and well chosen) words.

  • Why are men so uncommunicative?
    You’d learn to keep your big mouth shut too if every time you open it you get into trouble with your partner.

  • Why can’t men just share their feelings?
    Do we look like women to you? Why is it so hard to understand that men and women are different? How are we supposed to share how we feel when we have no idea how we feel? Personally, I get a headache whenever I try to figure out how I feel.

  • Why can’t men cuddle more?
    Please… How many hours do you think there is in a day?…. Now sitting on our asses for hours on end on the other hand is a whole other story.

  • How can men sit on their asses all day without moving?
    Men have very powerful sets of sitting muscles developed by evolution that enable us to sit for extended periods of time without getting tired. In prehistoric times, it was often necessary to sit in one spot for extended periods of time while hunting for prey. The fidgety types were all gobbled up by saber toothed tigers etc.

  • Why can’t men just say, “I love you”?
    Men are taught from a tender young age to be self-sufficient. To say that we love you is equivalent to saying that we need you. Most men consider that a character fault. It’s not easy to admit to one’s own character faults.

  • Why won’t men ever pick up after themselves?
    Why should we? It doesn’t really bother us that much. Besides, we know darn well you’ll pick it up.

  • What’s with all the belching and farting?
    This usually only occurs after months of courting. It’s our way to let you know that we’re comfortable with you. Believe it or not, it’s actually a sign of affection. Besides, holding it for extended periods of time gives us stomach cramps.
