Any Dilbert fans?

I am a fan of the comic strip Dilbert. I have been reading it for years, and find that the situations presented in the strip mirror real life in my office so closely it's uncanny. I just PM'd Atomic to say that the employee handbook at my company should contain a series of Dilbert strips rather than the typical ruloes and regulations, because those strips give more insight into the companies workings.......

The creator of Dilbert is Scott Adams, and he has a blog that I read quite often (http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/). The most recent post was this one - how true........

Are Men Just Defective Women?


I’ve noticed that men generally believe they are “different” from women, whereas women generally believe men are “defective” women. You can see that perspective in the comments to my last post.

90% of the gender difference seems to be the male preference for compartmentalizing thoughts while women think everything is somehow connected. Here are some phrases you rarely hear from women:

“I didn’t wrap your present because you’d just throw away the wrapping anyway.”

“Let’s skip Valentine’s Day this year so we don’t miss CSI.”

“Your personality is grating, but I’d do you in a heartbeat.”

“Bob died? Huh. What’s for dinner?”

No guy would ever say those things around a women either, but not because he isn’t thinking them. We guys have learned how to blend in and talk like women when it’s necessary. It feels like being a German spy during WWII and you’re always worried someone will ask you a question about the Yankees.

If you’re male you have to do a lot of internal editing before you let anything fly out of your mouth. The best way to filter is to ask yourself how a woman would react to what you’re about to say. Here’s a little test to see if you know how this works.

Suppose a male sees a car that’s a hideous shade of green and he blurts out to a friend “That is one ugly-ass car!” Now Using the Theory of Gender Compartmentalization, match the friend’s gender with the most likely response:

A. “Holy $%#*&, that color is just wrong for a car.”

B. Silence, while thinking “He hates my green sweater.”


BOCTAOE

Hilarious and 100% true.

So true.
Don't forget the slow processors we have, when we get the loaded questions from our significant others " Which one of these do you like better?" Or " Do these make me look fat?"
Brain goes into overdrive , like a chess game, analyze each possible response, the counter-responces, whether we'll be sleeping in the doghouse or not.....
