OK, now that Viribus told us a deep secret from the male world, I will reveal a piece of female "code" for you guys:

If you tell a woman something, and she exclaims "Oh really?!?", it means she thinks you are BSing or lying, but doesn't want to hurt your feelings or start an argument... You then should know you've been caught and proceed with caution!

(I think the corresponding male expression is something like "No sh#t" -- which would be too harsh and too likely trigger the argument that is to be avoided)

Example: You have not been able to pay the mortgage, but your car suddenly has those beautiful brand new 18" wheels on it. You tell her "928 Specialists just gave them to me for testing", and you get the above mentioned response.

In this case you should refrain from telling her what else you got for testing -- or you might have to make dinner that night. (It could cost you some flowers on top of it...)

 

Thom:

Thanks for the compliments! <blush>

I never think of myself as someone with a lot of Porsche expertise. I just happen to know a few stories about the 928...

Actualy, not realy. Male codes are typicaly quite transparant.

But then again, so are female codes.

Um. Word from the wise, avoid the "Oh Realy" at all costs. It typicaly costs me more than a bunch of flowers. All though, when she says "Oh Realy.", I usualy return with "Oh ****." Probably shouldn't do that...

 

CarFax reports that VIN as belonging to a "1989 GMC C6500 C7D042". Some sort of commercial truck?

 

Sorry guys the wife made me do it.

Subject: FW: Male Rules

Male Rules
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the

rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note... these

are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put

it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us

complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.

If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.

We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball,

the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

1. I am in shape. ROUND is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the

couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.

 

AHA, so it IS a cloaking device!!
Musta had it on when the car was registered.

 

Silly silly silly. You're all getting quite silly. It is obviously a controller for the 5 slot 8-track changer in the back.

 

Hey bill, so that is a commerial truck hiding in a 928 outfit. So maybe that thingy is what tresamore said - a cloaking device. It turns a big rig into a 928!!!!

And here's another one in addition to "oh really". When we females ask you to explanin something and we respond with a simple "ok" to your expanation, that means we don't buy it and are going to look for the answer elsewhere.

 

I got 2 Kids and a Yellow lab, Got kids before and dog after.

 

Beth, I used to date a girl named Beth. (not Elizabeth but just Beth..) After that I added a new entry to Rufus's Rules: "Girls named Beth are Trouble." Ha ha, at least you have a shark. She had a Tempo - Ruf

 

HEY! We Beth's are only trouble if you ask for it!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> And trouble is sometimes fun

 

That thingy....
He must have Bose 901's in the rear for his stereo. It is the 'Equalizer' for the 901's!

:rofl:

 

Beths? Fun? Well, yeah, they are, and if they can fill the tranny on a 928 without a jack, they're worth the trouble.- Ruf

 

Jack,
Are you sure? Maybe your cloaking device is stuck on.
