Don't fall for it. Expect a new kitchen, a new bathroom, new wardrobe and/or appliances in the near future.


Right. Because every woman is a housewife just waiting for that chance to spend her husband's money on a rhinestone-studded refrigerator.


You can't fight Darwin.


Is that the sound of a joke passing over someone's head?


There were about 5 identical jokes in this thread and this is the one that irked me the most. Mostly because I nor any of my other female friends are particularly interested in any of the stuff listed here. As I age I've transitioned by being equally amused as every other guy here, to mildly annoyed as the jokes don't evolve AT ALL.

Please stop telling me I like furniture! The closest I've ever gotten to purchasing furniture is picking some off the curb for free in response to a Craiglist ad.


Sorry, it was meant to tongue in cheek.

s/new kitchen, a new bathroom, new wardrobe and\/or appliances/New truck, new Stereo and\/or 17" MacBook Pro/g

Or maybe: s/wife/husband/g

My little joke was meant to be a play on the old adage: "Beware of Geeks baring gifts"

I was going to write "Greeks", but that would be racist. Ok, I'll stop now before Godwin's law gets invoked.


There is a difference between not getting a joke and not finding it funny.


Consider that there is very little separating an "ironic" sexist joke from a plain old regular sexist joke.
