 From one of those "you go girl!" chain letter jokes:

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00AM for an early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests. God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.


Wow, score one for women, but I sat back and thought about it for a little while, and realized the woman who wrote this little joke neglected to mention what happened after:

Then the man lost his job and the bitter wife couldn't bilk him out of any more money, they ended up getting divorced and she got half of nothing.

He found a new job, built himself back up, and got a better, younger wife.

She went on welfare, gained 200 lbs and died in her mid 50's, alone and covered in grease.


Potato chip grease, for those missing the connective.

Seriously though. So the guy asks his wife to wake him up at 5 AM. She DOESN'T. Any guy who wants to get up early is doing it for something IMPORTANT, it's not like we just do it because we feel like it. Why would women feel so damn smug about the first story? Oh wow, she won the argument, she may have cost the guy his life and job. What the hell are you so proud of? Retarded.

I find your epilogue to be chauvinistic and offensive. Not all women depend on their husbands to support them.

O RLY? I didn't know that. I thought all women were man-slaves.

Now to be serious - the original story is misandristic, my epilogue was interpreted as misogynistic. Am I somehow more in the wrong for making light of a misandristic situation? I don't think so. Plus, the original story made the error of being explicitly misandristic. Without the last paragraph, it would have been a cute little joke, but the add on is very derogatory towards men. Cute story. ...but then that last sentence crops up.

Take a look at it: "Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests. God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece. "

Is that not offensive? I should have added to my epilogue, "No, actually, God got it right the first time and fucked up the second time around." Then, I would have captured the character of the original story and had a true mirror. As well as written something delightfully chauvinistic. But I did not.

Equality means women are equal to men, not better than men, and vice versa.

I'm offended by the fact that both of you offended each other!
