Adam & Eve: How did we get into this mess?
Saturday, June 1, 2002 by LoidiBoid | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just who is to blame for all the strife in the world today? Was, and is, it Adam, the one who is most easily tempted... or perhaps Eve, who is the great con-artist?

Okay, fellas. Seems to me, when God asked Adam to name Eve, Adams took one look at Eve and said, "Whoa! Man!." Seems to me you can't be tempted unless you want to be.

I blame the apple then. Be warned about the dangers of fresh fruit! But some of the worst tyrants have been women!

I blame God. He should'n't have lied to Adam and Eve and said that the fruit was destroying them. Heck, he shouldn't have even had given them the stinking job.

To married (or nearly married) men....ain't nothing new here.....we still don't get it
To women (married or not it doesn't matter)......it's all been said before......
To unmarried men.....you're gonna get it.......
1. "Fine"
This is the word women use at the end of any argument when they feel they are right but can't stand to hear you argue any longer. It means that you should shut up. (NEVER use "fine" to describe how she looks. This will
cause you to have one of those arguments.)
2. "Five minutes"
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so women feel that it's an even trade.
3. "Nothing"
"Nothing" means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an
argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine."
4. "Go Ahead" (with raised eyebrows)
This is NOT permission; it's a dare! If you mistake it for permission, the result will be the woman will get upset over "Nothing" and you'll have a "five-minute" discussion that will end with the word "Fine."
5. "Go Ahead" (normal eyebrows)
This is NOT permission, either. It means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care." You will get a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you
in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
6. "Loud Sigh"
This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement. Very frequently misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are a complete idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing!."
7. "Soft Sigh"
Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually understand. It means she is momentarily content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe in the hope that the
moment will last a bit longer.
8. "Oh"
This word-followed by any statement-is trouble. Example; "Oh, let me get that". Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night." If she says "Oh" before a statement, run, do not walk, to the nearest exit. She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your clothes out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at least two days. ("Oh" as the lead to a sentence usually signifies that you are caught in a lie. Do not try to lie more to get out of it, or you will get a raised eyebrows "Go ahead," sometimes followed by acts so unspeakable that I can't bring myself to write about them.
9. "That's Okay"
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding what the penalty will be for whatever you have done. "That's okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead." Once she has had time to plan it out, you are in for some mighty big trouble.
10. "Please Do"
This is not a statement, it is an offer. The woman is giving you the chance to come up with an excuse for what you have done. In other words, a chance to get yourself into even more trouble. If you handle this correctly, you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."
11. "Thanks"
The woman is thanking you. Don't faint and don't look for hidden meaning. Just say "you're welcome."
12. "Thanks A Lot"
"Thanks A Lot" is dramatically different from "Thanks." A woman will say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It is usually followed by the "Loud Sigh." This signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way. Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing."

Yes, Today we would call that fruit thing as entrapment, the fact that Adam and Eve want for it was a sure thing, I think he made some money on it to.

LoidiBoid, sounds like you've been married for a long time - my condolences.
As for us single men. Some of us are smart enough to know this already and avoid any 'permanent' attachments.
Adam was really dumb. He should have eaten the apple and dumped Eve. Have your cake and eat it, that's what I say...

RcknMike summed up the answer i was going to give. as the book "good omens" (Terry Pratchett) pointed out, if you will use a big neon sign, what do you expect?
LoidiBoid, that was hysterical
feline wonders why LoidiBoid left off the happy and contended time they spend together
