Men explained!

1. WHY ARE MEN SUCH JERKS?It's a testosterone thing. Much similar to your PMS thing, we men suffer from testosterone poisoning. Why do you think the average life span of a male is typically 10 years shorter (and it's not just from all the bitching and nagging we have to endure)? Hormone modifies behavior. We're just misunderstood.
2. WHY DO MEN ALWAYS HAVE TO OGLE AT OTHER WOMEN?Again, this is a testosterone thing. Do you honestly think that all the testosterone just fell out of our bodies the moment we met you? Besides, women do it as well. Women are just much better at not getting caught. I'm fairly certain it's some sort of photographic memory deal. Women take one quick look and memorize it for later reference. Since men lack this ability, we try to burn it into our memory by staring as much as we can.
3. WHY DO MEN ALWAYS TOUCH THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC?We occasionally need to adjust our little friend and make him happy. It's much like adjusting your bra. Being in public is just an added bonus.
4. WHY DO MEN ALWAYS SAY SUCH STUPID THINGS?We like to. It's actually a whole lot of fun to see our partner frustrated by a few simple (and well-chosen) words.
5. WHY ARE MEN SO UNCOMMUNICATIVE?You'd learn to keep your big mouth shut too if every time you open it you get into trouble with your partner.
6. WHY DO MEN HAVE TO ACT LIKE SUCH RETARDS?Well, we don't actually have to; we do it because we enjoy it. It's the old fashioned pride in a job well done that's missing in so much of the world nowadays.
7. WHY CAN'T MEN JUST SHARE THEIR FEELINGS?Do we look like women to you? Why is it so hard to understand that men and women are different? How are we supposed to share how we feel when we have no idea how we feel? Unless we're experiencing some extreme emotion like rage, hatred, disgust, or a brick on our foot, we have no idea how we feel. Personally, I get a headache whenever I try to figure out how I feel.
8. WHY CAN'T MEN CUDDLE MORE (I.E. LIE DOWN AND HUG)?Please... How many hours do you think there is in a day? We oblige you as much as we can, but who the hell (besides women) can stand lying around for hours on end?We men... Men hunters... Need go roam... Starve in cave... Must go find wildebeest... Now sitting on our asses for hours on end on the other hand is a whole other story.
9. HOW CAN MEN SIT ON THEIR ASSES ALL DAY WITHOUT MOVING?Men have very powerful sets of sitting muscles developed by evolution that enable us to sit for extended periods of time without getting tired. In prehistoric times, it was often necessary to sit in one spot for extended periods of time while hunting for prey. The more successful hunters were able to sit very still for very extended periods of time thereby passing on this ability to their progeny. The fidgety types were all gobbled up by saber toothed tigers etc. The end result is that almost all modern men are born with this innate ability.
10. WHY CAN'T MEN JUST SAY, "I LOVE YOU?"Men are taught from a tender young age to be self-sufficient. To say that we love you is equivalent to saying that we need you. Most men consider that a character fault. It's not easy to admit to one's own character faults.
11. WHY DO MEN SAY "I LOVE YOU" WHEN THEY HARDLY KNOW ME?Ho, Ho, Ho... Aren't you special? Well, some men think it's a sure-fire way to get into your pants. Surprisingly, it actually still works quite well.
12. WHY DOESN'T MY PARTNER EVER ANSWER ME?We just simply don't have the energy to answer every single one of your questions. If we think we do not have the answer, or that you will not like the answer, we simply remain quiet and save the energy for other things.
13. WHY WON'T MEN EVER PICK UP AFTER THEMSELVES?Why should we? It doesn't really bother us that much. Besides, we know damn well you'll pick it up.
14. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BELCHING AND FARTING?This usually only occurs after months of courting. It's our way to let you know that we're comfortable with you. Believe it or not, it's actually a sign of affection. Besides, holding it for extended periods of time gives us stomach cramps.
15. WHY DO MEN HATE SHOPPING?It's an evolutionary thing. Men hunt. Women gather. We just want to go out, kill it, and bring it back. Who wants to spend hours and hours to look at things we have no intention of killing? Err... buying?

Guessing that pretty well explains it for all you women that were wondering. Drop a comment let me know.....That would be by the little envelope thingy there folks. Peace!

Something on the Lighter Side....

Ok last post was a litttle on the heavy side. Kinda reflected the state of mind I was in. So anyway, A friend sent me this in the e-mail. Loved it. Being the Southern boy that I am, it fits my thinking to a T.

MURDERER!!!

This fine citizen of Memphis sits in the Shelby County jail at 201 Poplar awaiting trial for the murder of a two year old child.Yeah, this upstanding pillar of society killed a child.
seems he and some of his homeboys had a beef with someone. The best way to settle this was by shooting into a group of people. To heck with being a man about it and taking him on to his face, he fires a gun into a crowd. Now that is something to be proud of.Guess he showed everybody what a real man he was.
Of course the sad part was the fact that a child had to die so he could prove his manhood. Regardless of the fact that this child had nothing to do with the problems. This child may have grown up to just be another crack-head, but then she could have also been mayor, president, or the doctor that cures cancer. But now shes just dead. What a freaking waste.
I joke about taking up urban sniping as a hobby. Man, I couldn't buy enough bullets to put down some of the cockroaches that abound here in Memphis. Man, but what a worthwhile hobby this would be.
All I can hope for is that this fine young man gets what he deserves. And hopefully he picks up a few good boyfriends while he's sharing shower space down at 201 Poplar. Here's to hoping that prayers really do get answered. Peace!!

Rudeness!!!

You know I really love working in Trauma. Of all the years i've been nursing this is the first job that I have really enjoyed. I've been called an adrenaline junkie. Shoot it may be true. I know I get a rush from the call of "SHOCK TRAUMA BY AIR IN 15 MINUTES". And I love going to the roof to meet the helicopter. The girls I work with call me the helicopter bitch. LOL! I'm the only one that doesn't mind going to the roof when it's freezing cold.
I guess the downfall is the rude people that we have to deal with. It's amazing that you can work your tail off to save someones life and they want to bitch at you. Totally no respect for the efforts that you made. I mean I'm not looking for a medal or anything...Just a simple THANK YOU would be nice. I guess it's the culture in which we live now. You know what I mean, the it's all about me attitude. I'm gonna talk to you any way I want to and you can't do a thing about it.
I mean if you go to McDonald's, Walmart, Walgreen's, or any where else and talk to the staff the way we are talked to your tail would be going to jail. But you know, they are sick and they can't help the way they are acting. I say BULLSHIT, it's the natural rudeness of our culture and the patients that we deal with. I just wish that sometimes folks would think of others a little before they open their mouths and cuss out those that are taking care of them. but like I said....The only person that matters is ME!!
But enough of my ranting. Drop me a line and say HI. Let me know your thoughts on the subject.

Airevac.....Another transpot company that comes to THE MED. Good groups of folks here too.
