1. We got off the Titanic first 2.We can cry and get off speeding fines 3.We’ve never gone after a cartoon character in a computer game 4.Taxis stop for us 5.Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance 2. We can hug our friends without wondering if she thinks we’re gay 3. We can hug our friends without wondering if WE’RE gay 8.It’s possible to live our whole lives without ever taking a group shower 9.We don’t have to fart to amuse ourselves 4. We have enough sense to realize that the easiest way to get out of being lost is to ask for directions 5. We’ll never regret piercing our ears \*Note - I didnt make these up.☹ I dont have a really good sense of humor… ---

I thought it was because we can touch female breasts whenever we want. What more reason do you need? “2.We can cry and get off speeding fines” Which is horribly cheap and tacky. “6. We can hug our friends without wondering if she thinks we’re gay” Speak for yourself. “9.We don’t have to fart to amuse ourselves” Don’t HAVE to, but it’s still pretty goddamned funny. Bah. Lists of why one thing is better than another are SO 1999. 😃 ---

[open mike night at Laffy’s] And you know how men _never_ ask for directions? Girls, back me up on this! I knew this one guy who could be in, like, the Amazon rainforest, and he’d be like ‘I know where I am, it’s just a shortcut!’ Am I right?? [/open mike night at Laffy’s] ---

We don’t have that pesky penis hanging around draining all our mental energies. One brain can not serve two masters and unfortunately it seems to choose the path of least resistance.😃 ---

My penis may be pesky but it’s mine and I love him. As to the path of least resistance, I would argue but lil Hans won’t let me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by \*\*andygirl \*\*\* > My number one reason is that girls kiss better. YMMV. Can’t argue with you there. I have to admit that I actually prefer women to men, myself. I gotta go with **the thread killer** on the gay thing though, it’s more of a perception thing. You see two women hugging in public, it’s just not the same as if you saw two men doing it. It’s more accepted. I guess that doesn’t speak to the wondering about yourself item. I have to take issue with #8, though, I guess it’s possible, but why would you _want_ to? Girl group showers are so _hot_! [sub]just making a little joke here. Don’t roast me please.[/sub] ---

Yes but if a guy sees you hugging your friends he imagins that you are bi. ---

Re: all that stuff about guys hugging. I hug my male friends if I haven’t seen them in a while, and they know that I’m not gay, nor would they care if I was. Just last weekend I ran into a gay male friend of mine, and he instantly got a big bear-hug from me. Nobody cared. (none of the people I was with, anyway, and that’s all that matters.) I first saw this list in an e-mail a while ago, and I still think it’s funny. (and mostly true.) -Dirty ---

Actually, I think having a penis would be sort of fun for a day or two. Fortunatly, my boyfriend lets me borrow his from time to time. 😃 ---
