[Vision2020] Understanding Women (Humor)

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings Visionaires -

As I have mentioned in the past, I have been a long time subscriber of "Joke
of the Day".  I found today's to be particularly interesting, especially for
those of us one Y chromosome shy of the Men's room.

Understanding Women 

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a
few reasons why: 

A woman over 40 will not lay next to you in bed and ask, "What are you
thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want
to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does
something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting. 

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what
she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a
darn what you might think about her, or what she's doing. 

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at
the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you
deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get
away with it. 

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's
like to be unappreciated. 

A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women
friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend
because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 40 couldn't
care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends
won't betray her. 

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 40. They always know. 

A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of
younger women or drag queens. 

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her
younger counterpart. 

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are
a jerk or if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where
you stand with her. 

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. 

Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed
hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a
fool of himself with some 18-year-old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say
about their cause, but what they say about their opponents."
