Ich habe mir Anfang 1997 einen Kalendar in den USA gekauft, der da heißt "Men we love to hate" . Die Sprueche finde ich einfach nur "knuffig", so dass ich mich entschlossen habe, sie nach und nach hier einzutragen.
Hier also die Sachen, die wir Frauen, so abgöttisch an Männern lieben.
Men we love to hate ...
- Husbands whose New Year resolutions are cutting down on beer, cigars, watchting football, and hanging out with their buddies, then spend all of New Year's Day drinking beer, smoking cigars, and watching football with their buddies.
- Lovers who say, "...Nowhere," when you ask where they had lunch or where they spent the night - on New Year's Eve.
- Husbands who won't change a light bulb for you, but will spend the whole weekend wiring a sound system their buddy got for Christmas.

- Guys who slurp down milk shakes, doughnuts, burgers and fries in front of you because they want to "put on a few pounds!"
