"I'm going fishing"
Means..."I'm going to drink myself dangerously stupid and stand by a stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety".

"It's a guy thing"
Means..."There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical".

"Can I help with dinner?"
Means..."Why isn't dinner already on the table?"

"Uh huh", "Sure honey," or "Yes dear".
Means...Absolutely nothing; it is a conditioned response.

"It would take too long to explain"
Means..."I have no idea how it works".

"We're going to be late"
Means..."Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac".

"I was listening to you. It's just that I have things on my mind".
Means..."I was wondering if that redhead over there is wearing a bra".

"Take a break honey, you're working too hard".
Means..."I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner".

"That's interesting dear".
Means..."Are you still talking?"

"It's a really good movie".
Means..."It's got guns, knives, fast cars, and beautiful women".

"That's women's work".

Means..."I remember the theme song to 'F Troop', the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the vehicle identification numbers of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday".

Means..."The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe".

"Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal".

"Hey, I've got my reasons for what I'm doing".
Means..."And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon".

"I can't find it".
Means..."It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless".

"What did I do this time?"
Means..."What did you catch me at?"

"I heard you".
Means..."I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next 3 days yelling at me."

"You know I could never love anyone else".
Means..."I am used to the way you yell at me, and realize it could be worse".

"You look terrific".
Means..."Oh God, please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving!"

"We share the housework".
Means..."I make the messes, she cleans them up".
