Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?

I’m not naming anyone in particular, or pointing any fingers…just a “what if”. Okay?

Wouldn’t it be just the best thing in the world known to men if a woman had a small “check engine” light that would go off when hormones exceeded a safe level?

Think of all the wasted arguments that could be avoided, and the attempts at reasoning that could be saved for a logical conversation. Not to mention the confusion and hurt feelings a guy has to endure.

A man could see that light and realize a dangerous situation was about to happen that was completely beyond his control and could just avoid all contact until the light went off.

Heck, it would be a great excuse to go hang with the guys because he is in trouble anyway just for being a guy so you might as well give them cause.

That would be handy. It would also be handy if you could hook her up to a computer and get a print out of what's wrong, since she isn't going to tell you why she's pissed at you. ;-)

I'd have my wife first in line for installation.

Good point Jay.

terri said...

Fine then. Fine.

I don't know what you're even talking about. As if we women are the ones with a problem.

Whatever.

Nothing's wrong. I SAID IT'S FINE!

(I really do see the humor in this and I SO BADLY want to write the female perspective version on my blog except it would get me in trouble with my husband.)

TerryC said...

Come on. If you've been MARRIED to a particular woman for a certain number of years, you should be able to figure these things out.

HELLOOOO!

How about this? What about just being nice and sensitive and doing all the things that responsible husbands do all the time? Why would that be so difficult?

Avoiding all contact is simply cowardly!

Cute post, though ;-) !

What!? Your model didn't come with a warning light?

Or are you just oblivious to the pulsating glow of hormonal vibe that sometimes radiates from your lovely bride?

Don't worry, I usually notice Terry's warning light just a moment too late.

My wife just says "I'm not going to be very nice for a few days, OK?"

Works fine.

Reggie Hunnicutt said...

So you do have a warning or sorts Rock Chef. Nice lady you have.

No Michael...I'm kind of like one of those friendly dogs that bangs it's tail on the wall most of the time in the joy of life oblivious to the internal juices brewing in others. Yell at me and I'll pee, cringe, and run away.

Reggie Hunnicutt said...

To all the nice women of the world...men actually cannot read your minds. Nope, never have and never will. You see, it is impossible.

Judy said...

Funny! Yes, even I wish women had that. We women have to put up with other women too and believe you me I encounter this as well!!!

Ken said...

I think this could be worked out very soon in the future, with a surgical implant.

Chris said...

Terri just pointed out the dreaded "f" word.

Fine.

I hear that, it's all over.

TerryC said...

All right guys, you think it's difficult being around someone who's having hormonal fluctuations?

Just try to imagine actually experiencing the wild roller-coaster. It's like being possessed by some crazed alien.

Reggie Hunnicutt said...

You know the thing about it is sometimes the next day they are oblivious to the fact that they were a monster the day before.

I'm still shaking in my boots and she's all normal again like nothing happened.

Michael told me you dislike sweaty drunks at Kurt concerts. I told Gigi and she said, "Me too sister".

TerryC said...

I didn't get to the next day part where we say to ourselves, "Holy Shit! I can't believe I said and did that and I sure as hell hope I still have a house and a husband left."

And then we just hug you gratefully for having the courage and perseverance to remain for the next go 'round.

'Cause we still have to live in our bodies. It would be nice to just be able to run away.....

Oh yeah, I'm over the sweaty drunk people thang, but I might deal with it for a minute that night. Parrot's Cove is heading down the tubes from what we heard tonight....

Parrots Cove hasn’t even been open a full high season yet. Nothing seems to work at that location.
