We've all heard that men are from Mars, women are from Venus.



Men are visual, women are emotional.

Men examine facts and react with practicality while women often rely on their intuition to guide them.

Men "figure" things out, women read the directions.

To men, things are either black or white, right or wrong while women know that "grey" is an option and that men are always wrong and women are always right.


Okay, I am just kidding on that one!

Anyway, I received the following in an email from a friend and just couldn't resist passing it on…

So ladies, the next time you are reveling in the after glow of great sex, know this…

At the exact moment that you are thinking about how much you love this man and how wonderful he is, he is probably thinking about that squealing noise he heard under the hood today on the way home and is planning a stop at AutoZone for a new serpentine belt.

It's the best he can do, but he loves you!

Don't know what a serpentine belt is? Be thankful that he does. You need it!
