195 - Why do women cry, trying to direct men?

Question from AARP magazine. Answer from me. (it's a guy thing)(typos fixed)(more typos fixed)(edits)(this may be deleted if I find more typos)

Q. Why do men refuse to ask for directions until the woman starts to cry?

A. First making a woman cry seems to be a manly thing to do. So that's the first reason.
Secondly a man can't "ask" for directions because of the response he'll get. When you just "ask" you get "go down to the second blue house, turn left until you come to a gray mail box. Now that's not what you want but it's close so just go a little farther and turn at bubbas house. You'll know the house because he has three dogs in the yard. Your just 5 miles from the turn off to where your going. There's a big oak tree you can't miss. Turn left and your there.

Now for a guy when he gets back to the car and the woman asks, "what did he say"? His response, "beats the hell outa me"!

So the solution is to send the woman in with specific instructons. You tell her, "make the sucker draw me a map. Make sure all the streets and turns are labeled. Make sure there's distances marked between turns. Make sure there's addresses at the turns and for where we're going.

That will get you where your going directly with out backtracking for hours trying to figure what you thought bubba told you.
