***WHAT HE'S REALLY SAYING Ever wonder what men are thinking? Well, here's some common man-speak and how it actually translates: "I can't find it." Translated: "It didn't fall into my out stretched hands, so I'm completely clueless." "It's a guy thing." Translated: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical." "Can I help with Dinner?" Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?" "I'm going fishing." Translated: I'm going to hang with my buddies, sit in a boat with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety." "Uh huh, sure, hone." or alternately "Yes, dear." Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response. "It would take too long to explain." Translated: "I have no idea how it works." "You know how bad my memory is." Translated: "I can hum the theme songs on ESPN, the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the vehicle identification Numbers of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday." "Take a break honey, you're working too hard." Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner." "That's interesting, dear." Translated: "Are you still talking?" "Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal." Translated: "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt." "I heard you." Translated: "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next 3 days yelling at me."
