IT’S ADDLEPATED APRIL AGAIN! -- Or, time for feather-brained folk to have some fun! --

**Compiled by Leady Beatrice Blitterlees and edited by Lord Earl Craboon

April is one of those months that most pithy people would rather forget. After all, it’srepparttar only month that starts off on a “foolish footing”.

The good news is that fops, (who more often than not put their foot in their mouths as opposed to someone else’s), have only one day a year to celebraterepparttar 118065 folly of mankind.

The bad news is that anyone who adores linear thinking will be in for a rough ride this month.

Soothsayers usually have fun with April because they often predict thatrepparttar 118066 sky will fall without warning, (or at a minimum rain cats and dogs).

As if that’s not enough, some bloke with precious little to do decided it was high time to turn all clocks backwards (for Daylight Savings Time).

So, if you’re looking for an excuse to engage in a bit of eclectic entertainment, you hitrepparttar 118067 right month of quintessentially quirky things to do.

Guys Love What Women Don't

Written by Ed Williams


Remember last week’s column when I talked about that annoying little habit women have of wanting to eat food off a man’s plate when they’re out with one of us at a restaurant? Well, I had a certain lady write me an email in response, and she told me that she somewhat agreed with me re what I was saying, but, added that it really didn’t matter too much as, “...getting upset about us eating food off a man’s plate is strictly a guy’s thing. It‘s no big deal to us.”

A guy’s thing. I’ve heard that terminology since back in high school when I first started dating. What it refers to isrepparttar fact that there are just some things that men like that women don’t. Those little things that separaterepparttar 118064 sexes, and make them what they are. And, after thinking for a good twenty seconds, I’m gonna be kind enough to list what some ofrepparttar 118065 major “guy’s things” are:

1. The Three Stooges - For some unknown reason, guys loverepparttar 118066 Stooges and women don’t. What’s not to love? They exhibited some ofrepparttar 118067 greatest physical comedy ever, and some of their sayings were priceless. Remember some of these routines:

Curly: “Whatja say?”

Moe: *gives Curly a two-finger eye poke*

Curly: “That’s what I thought ya said.”

Or:

Shemp: (Looking into a mirror) “There I yam - and as pretty as a picture.”

Moe: “Yeah. Of an ape.” (Then slaps Shemp hard).

Isn’t that great? I’ll bet lots of you guys out there are laughing out loud. Onrepparttar 118068 other hand, I’ll bet that most of you ladies are saying, “I just don’t get it, I never thoughtrepparttar 118069 Stooges were all that funny.” This is a great first example of a “guy’s thing.” But there’s plenty more.

2. Mountain Dew - Diet Mountain Dew is my favorite soft drink inrepparttar 118070 world. I love its mellow, citrus based taste, and it has more caffeine in it than any other soft drink. But, what I’ve discovered is, try offering one to a woman. For some unknown reason, experience has taught me that eight out of ten women will turn a Mountain Dew down, saying, “I just don’t like it.” What’s not to like? It tastes good, keeps you awake, and it looksrepparttar 118071 same leaving your body as when it went in. A totally useful product.
