NICKNAMES
If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will
call each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose. But if Mike, Charlie,
Bob and John go out for a night with the guys, they will affectionately
refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each
throw in $20, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them
will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they
want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the
pocket calculators.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom
is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.
ARGUMENTS

after that is the beginning of a new argument.

NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

about dentist appointments and romances, best friends and favorite
foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams.
