Today, my secretary the receptionist for our facility came to me with a question. Let me first explain that we have a pretty good working relationship. She really makes me look good around here. We both have sorta allied with one another in a building full of alliances. Until today. And I will pay for this one I am sure.
She reads this on occasion. So I have to be fair..for fairness sake.
She comes into my office and asks me a series of questions. All of which I confidently and quickly answer. My last answer, a response to her last question was this: 3 days. That was the answer. 3 days. 72 hours.
She then began to argue. Well not argue. She then begin to state that she thought it was 1 day or 24 hours. I said no, usually it is 3 days. She said that she thought. Then I said I thought. She. Me. Then I said this.
“IF you knew the answer, why did you ask me the question?”
That did it. See in a females brain, those sorta scenarios never play out. With my short, quick, stunningly accurate retort..she left my office in short order. This will take days to get over I am sure.
Why is it when faced with such a simple truth, with the purest of motives, women can get so bent out of shape?
More on this later.

First of all, let’s hope my wifey isn’t reading this. I get that around the house a lot…
wifey: Do you like A or B?
me: I like B?
wifey: Why don’t you like A? I like A. Is there something wrong with A?
me: If you like A, why am I being presented with A AND B?
Dude…I love my wife, but I don’t get the female brain sometimes.

Oh boy. You are in BIG trouble now! Women always speak in code. What they say is just the tip of the iceberg. Without access to the entire iceberg of logic, no mere man can ever truly understand what it is a woman is really saying. I suggest you apologize and get her a Starbucks gift card. Quickly!
