I really can't complain then since my husband was nearly all of the above, the problem is after 30+ years of marriage that list narrows down. LOL!!!!

That's a hoot Cathi! How true and how funny!Whoever wrote that knows what they're talking about...LOL!

Nowadays, filling up your gas tank might be an option.

Man what man, where??? I've pretty much given up looking for any man, anywhere, anyhow...why bother? Well maybe for gas but with my luck all the gas the one I'd find would have would be up his butt...fart!!!

This was a good one...can't wait to show to my hubby and see if he recognizes where he is on the list these days...

I just went back and read this one from back in 2005 - how funny!! It made my day and made me laugh!

I love your term for the wild thing Anne! The horizontal hokey-pokey -that cracks me up!

Now if I could mold my perfect kind of man...he probably wouldn't want me.
