"Women"
Women Are More Complicated than
Computers
Understanding women is harder than figuring out the hardest computer
game, harder even than setting up a secure 200-client network running
*BSD. But women can offer more satisfaction than even an overclocked,
dual-Celeron workstation, so learning how to deal with them is worth the
extra effort.
I believe the greatest frustration about women for men who are used to
dealing with Open Source software is that you cannot fix flaws you find
in them. You pretty much have no choice but to take them the way they
are. For example, my wife likes to redecorate frequently, which
sometimes annoys me, but I've learned to shrug my shoulders and call
this part of her personality a feature, not a bug, and to accept it with
the same good grace with which I accept a certain respected coworker's
unique approach to the English language.
But I take pride in the fact that I am just as much of a mystery to my
wife as she is to me, and that she can't change my source code any more
than I can change hers.
Perhaps this is the true secret of finding a woman to love: knowing that
there is no such thing as a perfect female, but that a woman worth
loving is worth loving in spite of her imperfections, just as you are
worth loving in spite of your imperfections -- to at least one woman in
this world, who is probably sitting alone right now, wishing she could
find a fine, brilliant (if slightly shy) man like you to fill that big,
empty spot in her life.
Genie in the lamp:
A man was walking along a California beach when he stumbled across an
old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie.
The genie said "OK so you released me from the lamp blah blah blah, but
this is the fourth time this week and I'm getting a little sick of these
wishes, So you can forget about three. You only get one wish."
The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always
wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm too scared to fly and I get very seasick.
So could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there?"
The genie laughed a replied, "That's impossible. Think of the logistics
of that. How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific?
Think of how much concrete....How much steel !!!! No think of another
wish." The man agreed and tried to think of a really good wish. He said,
"I've been married and divorced four times. My wives have always said I
don't care and that I'm insensitive. I wish that I could understand
women. To know what they are thinking when they give me the silent
treatment, To know why they are crying, To know what they want when they
say "nothing"...."
The genie replies "You want that bridge two lanes or four?"

Some of the Many Differences Between
Men and Women
A man is a person who will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item he
wants.
A woman will pay one dollar for a two-dollar item that she doesn't want.
A woman will always cherish the memory of the man who wanted to marry
her.
A man, of the woman who didn't.
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband,
While a man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
Men marry because they are tired.
Women marry because they are curious.
Both are disappointed.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at
all.
Married men live longer than single men.
But married men are a lot more willing to die.
Any married man should forget his mistakes -no use two people remembering the same
thing.
Marriage: A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
The Battle: A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
Husbands: Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy.
One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have
it.
There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman - before marriage and after
marriage.
The
Gender of Computers:
A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns,
unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designed as masculine
or feminine.
"House" in French is feminine - "la maison." "Pencil" in French is
masculine - "le crayon."
One puzzled student asked, "What gender is a computer?"
The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary.
So for fun she split the class into two groups, appropriately enough, by
gender, and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine
or feminine noun. Both groups were required to give four reasons for
their recommendation.
====> The men's group decided that computers should
definitely be of the feminine order - "la computer" - because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible
later review.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your pay check on accessories for it.
====> The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
masculine -"le computer" - because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited a little
longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won (oops)

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a
day...30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife said the reason has to be because a
woman has to say everything twice. The husband then turned to his wife and
asked, "What?"
____________________________________________
A housewife walked into her kitchen to see her husband with a fly swatter in
his hand. She asked, "Honey, what are you doing?" He responded,
"Oh, just swatting flies." She asked. "Killing any?" He responded, "Yes, I got
3 males and 2 females!" "Good", she said, and turned to walk away.
But then a puzzling thought overcame her and she turned back towards her
husband and asked, "Honey, how could you tell the sex of the flies?"
He responded, "Well, 3 were on the beer can and 2 were on the phone."
